Area of Science:
- Agricultural Economics
- Rural Development
- Behavioral Economics
Background:
- Farmers' entrepreneurship is crucial for rural economic growth.
- The impact of financial literacy on rural entrepreneurship remains under-explored.
- Understanding factors influencing farmer business creation is vital for policy development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the relationship between financial literacy and entrepreneurship in Chinese rural households.
- To investigate the roles of credit constraints and risk preferences in this relationship.
- To provide empirical evidence for optimizing entrepreneurship support policies in rural areas.
Main Methods:
- Utilized 2021 China Land Economic Survey data.
- Employed IV-probit, stepwise regression, and moderating effects models.

Main Results:
- Chinese farmers exhibit low financial literacy (11.2% entrepreneurship rate).
- Financial literacy positively correlates with and promotes rural household entrepreneurship.
