As one of the core subjects of digital rural construction,farmers are key actors in promoting rural transformation,and their digital literacy theoretically becomes an important factor affecting the process of market-oriented reform of rural production factors.Therefore,studying the impact of farmers'digital literacy on production factor allocation(PFA)is of great theoretical significance for deepening the market-oriented reform of rural factors,promoting digital rural construction,and transforming agricultural development modes. This paper,based on the China Rural Revitalization Survey(CRRS)data,utilizes seemingly unrelated regressions and multivariate Probit models to analyze the impact of farmers'digital literacy on PFA and its mechanisms.The benchmark regression results show that farmers'digital literacy facilitates PFA,and this conclusion still holds after robustness tests.Mechanism analysis indicates that this facilitating effect is achieved by reducing the transaction costs associated with production factors.Heterogeneity analysis shows that digital literacy can affect off-farm PFA in families without support burdens and young child-rearing families,while it does not significantly affect PFA in families providing elderly care or caring for both elderly and young children.Digital literacy encourages small farmers and farmers in non-major grain-producing areas to engage in off-farm PFA and large-scale farmers and farmers in major grain-producing areas to engage in operational PFA.Output performance analysis indicates that digital literacy can improve the per-unit output of large-scale farmers and increase their agricultural income and total income,as well as the off-farm employment income and total income of families without support burdens and young child-rearing families. The marginal contributions are as follows.First,this paper analyzes the factors influencing farmers'participation in the marketization of the three major rural factors from the perspective of joint factor allocation,making the estimation results more in line with the actual situation of farmers.Second,it analyzes the impact of farmers'digital literacy on PFA,supplementing the existing evidence of the impact of farmers'digital literacy on production and operation.Third,starting from the family life cycle theory,it comprehensively and systematically analyzes the differences in the impact paths of digital literacy on the PFA in different types of families,which helps to formulate targeted measures to promote farmers'participation in the market-oriented reform of production factors. Based on empirical research,this paper proposes suggestions for improving farmers'digital literacy through multiple channels,clarifying the PFA preferences of farmers with different agricultural production scales,and formulating different incentives for participation in the market-oriented reform of rural factors for different types of farmers.
