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.
Comparative sub-sample analysis (non-grain vs. major grain-producing regions) showing larger estimated effects in non-grain-producing areas.
Digital service capacity shows diminishing marginal returns: the marginal positive effect of digital services on AGTFP weakens at more advanced stages of digital-service development.
Panel threshold/modeling of nonlinearity indicating a decreasing marginal effect of the digital service sub-index on AGTFP at higher development levels.
Digitalization accelerates agricultural mechanization and the diffusion of agricultural R&D, which act as channels raising AGTFP.
Mediation analysis including mechanization rate and agricultural R&D input/technology diffusion indicators as mediators; reported significant indirect effects.
Digital rural development strengthens cooperative organizational forms (farmer cooperatives), and this organizational upgrading contributes to higher AGTFP.
Mediation tests showing digitalization is associated with greater cooperative organization indicators, which in turn are associated with higher AGTFP.
Digital rural development encourages larger-scale agricultural operations (land consolidation/scale expansion), which contributes to increases in AGTFP.
Mediation models that include farm scale/land transfer indicators as mediators and find significant indirect effects; analysis notes institutional constraints limit full realization.
Digital rural development raises AGTFP in part by promoting labor mobility and reallocating labor toward higher-productivity uses.

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).
