Research on Institutional Mechanisms and Pathways for Rural Revitalization through Two-Way Flow of Urban-Rural Factors
Journal: Modern Economics & Management Forum DOI: 10.32629/memf.v7i1.4869
Abstract
Against the backdrop of rural revitalization, this paper explores the institutional mechanisms and pathways for bidirectional flow of urban-rural factors. Drawing on theories of factor mobility and urban-rural integration, it traces the evolution from unidirectional to bidirectional flows. Findings reveal that while innovation factors grow increasingly vital and regional mobility exhibits divergence under emerging technology drivers, challenges persist including institutional barriers, imperfect market mechanisms, and imbalanced factor endowments. Institutional development, market forces, government intervention, and social governance serve as primary drivers. Practical implementation can advance through three dimensions — subjects, structure, and dynamics — by improving talent and capital mechanisms, optimizing county-level platforms, and enhancing infrastructure and services. These pathways provide support for urban-rural integration and contribute to rural revitalization.
