Abstract: The rural areas are faced with the most arduous and onerous task of promoting common prosperity. To achieve common prosperity among farmers and in rural areas, it is necessary to make farmers' income grow continuously; however, the lack of access to credit is an important factor restricting the continuous growth of farmers' income. Taking the rural land mortgage loan policy pilots as a quasi-natural experiment and the rural land mortgage loan policy pilot counties in China's 31 provinces from 2014-2019 as the research objects, this study employs the difference-in-difference method to analyze the impact of rural land mortgage loan policy on farmers' income. The findings show that the rural land mortgage loan policy can significantly improve farmers' income. The mechanism analysis reveals that the rural land mortgage loan policy can promote the rural collective economic development and farmer entrepreneurship, so as to increase farmers' income. The result of further adjustment effect analysis shows that the higher the level of the digital inclusive finance, the greater the improving effect of the rural land mortgage loan policy on the farmers' income. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the pilot scope of the rural land mortgage loan policy so that more farmers can enjoy the institutional dividends brought about by the rural land mortgage loan policy, thereby enabling the sustainable growth in farmers' income and promoting the common prosperity among farmers and in rural areas.

Key words: rural land mortgage loan policy, farmers' income, common prosperity among farmers and in rural areas
