For the convenience of comparison, we increase the per capita agricultural financial expenditure of the central government as an extra explanatory variable. For the related variables of rural economy, we choose the per capita net income of farmers as explanatory variables. 1.2 Selection and description of the model data (1) Farmers per capita net income Table 1 per capita net income of rural households (1996 to 2010) year Absolute number(Unit: RMB / person) index year Absolute number(Unit: RMB / person) index 1978 133.6 10
