abstractwith  the  proliferation  of  information  and  communication  technology  in  rural  areas,  rural e-commerce has gradually become a new economic phenomenon in china. using the  national  rural  e-commerce  comprehensive  demonstration  policy  as  a  quasi-natural  experiment,  this  study  examines  the  causal  linkage  between  rural  e-commerce  and  county-level economic development in china. its fi ndings, which draw on county-level panel data from 2011 to 2018, indicate that the policy had a positive eff ect on the county-level economy in china, resulting  in an overall increase in county gdp by 3.5 percent (0.7 percent annually). our analysis further shows that the impact of the policy diff ered along the region and human capital dimensions.  further analysis reveals that industrial structure  and  nonagricultural  employment  were  the  main  channels  for  the  policy  to  exert  a  county-level  economic  impact.  infrastructure  improvement  in  china  also  plays  an important role. the fi ndings emphasize the importance of advancing e-commerce in rural areas to stimulate county-level economic development.keywords: county economy, e-commerce, quasi-natural experiment, rural chinajel codes: d04, h0, q0i. introductionthe  popularization  of  information  and  communication  technology  (ict),  particularly  the  extensive  use  of  the  internet  and  intelligent  phones,  has  become  increasingly  important
