Complementarities matter: digitalization increases AGTFP more when combined with complementary investments and institutions (mechanization, R&D, cooperative organization).
Findings from mediation analysis and interaction/heterogeneity checks indicating larger effects where complementary inputs/institutions are present.
Non-grain-producing provinces experience larger AGTFP gains from digital rural development than major grain-producing provinces.

Productivity gains from WAPM are larger in major grain-producing regions of China.
Subgroup (heterogeneity) analysis by region reported in the paper using the CLDS panel; WAPM treatment effects are reported as larger and statistically stronger in major grain-producing regions.
WAPM offsets the productivity penalties associated with small farm size (i.e., reduces the negative scale effect on productivity for smallholders).
Interaction/heterogeneity analyses in the paper showing smaller negative associations between small farm size and productivity among WAPM adopters in the CLDS 2014–2018 sample.
The productivity advantages of WAPM operate mainly by easing labor constraints (i.e., WAPM mitigates labor shortages that limit productivity).
Mechanism analysis reported in the paper using mediation/interaction-style tests on the CLDS panel (authors report that labor-constraint indicators attenuate treatment effects and/or interact with WAPM adoption).
The productivity gain from WAPM is more than twice that of PAPM (WAPM effect ≈ 2.27× PAPM effect).
