Abstract:

Objective: Narrowing the gap between urban and rural development is an important link in achieving common prosperity for all people.Building a multi-dimensional assessment system to measure the value realization efficiency of forest ecological products and the urban-rural gap, and analyze the impact of the value realization efficiency of forest ecological products on the urban-rural gap and its mechanism, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating and improving urban and rural common prosperity planning and policies in the new era and new journey. Method: Based on the panel data of 11 districts and cities in Zhejiang Province from 2001 to 2020, the double fixed effect static panel model was used to analyze the impact of the value realization efficiency of forest ecological products on the urban-rural gap, and the mechanism was analyzed from four aspects: urban-rural income gap, urban-rural consumption gap, urban-rural employment gap, and urban-rural public service gap. Result: 1) From 2001 to 2020, the achievement rate of the value realization efficiency of forest ecological products in Zhejiang Province was relatively low, and the overall situation was fluctuating.The average efficiency of value realization of forest ecological products in district-divided cities in the past 20 years was ranked as follows: Jiaxing> Jinhua> Taizhou> Zhoushan> Huzhou> Shaoxing> Ningbo> Wenzhou> Hangzhou> Lishui.2) From 2001 to 2020, the urban-rural gap in Zhejiang Province showed a declining trend in general, and the urban-rural development gaps among the district-divided cities were obviously heterogeneous.In the past 20 years, the average value of urban-rural gap of each city was ranked as follows: Jiaxing < Huzhou < Zhoushan < Ningbo < Hangzhou < Shaoxing < Wenzhou < Taizhou < Jinhua < Quzhou < Lishui.3) The impact of the value realization efficiency of forest ecological products on the urban-rural gap shows an overall "inverted U-shaped" development trend with an increase first followed by a decrease.4) The efficiency of the value realization of forest ecological products can influence and narrow the urban-rural gap through the number of non-agricultural employment, agricultural, forestry and water expenditure, and the per capita transfer income of rural residents. Conclusion: All district-divided cities should, according to their respective forest resources, innovate the value added model of forest ecological products, improve the forest ecological compensation mechanism, the marketization promotion mechanism of forest ecological industry and the benefit sharing mechanism of ecological industry development, broaden the path to realize the value of forest ecological products, actively absorb rural labor forces, and improve the level of rural non-agricultural income and forest resource property income, transform the advantages of Zhejiang's forest resources into the advantages of urban and rural common prosperity.

Key words: common prosperity, urban-rural gap, value of ecological product, realization efficiency, inverted U-shape
