摘要	In the digital age, it is critical to understand the nexus between digital technology (DT) and land rent-out behavior (LRB). It has implications for reducing the rate of land abandonment to achieve sustainable agricultural development. A large dataset (n = 5233) dating from 2016 and coming from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) is used to explore the impact of DT on LRB by applying several econometric models, also including the Recursive Bivariate Probit (RBP) model and Chain Multiple Mediation effect (CMM) model. We provide empirical evidence that the DT's information sharing effect positively impacted LRB, while an opposite effect is observed by the digital divide (DT_GAP) i.e., information exclusion that negatively impacted LRB. We further test the effect of two other variables, namely digital information dependence and non-farm jobs supposed as mediating factors of DT and DT_GAP in influencing LRB, respectively in a positive and negative way. In particular, the variable nonfarm jobs plays a mediating role conditional on the variable digital information dependence as a mediating variable at the first level. In addition, statistical tests reveal that the impact of DT and the DT_GAP on LRB is not significant in terms of regional preferences but is significant in terms of age of householder and household income level.
