A Review of Returns to Scale of Farm Management in Modern Guangxi

近世以来,广西的农民经济普遍形成了一种“户耕十二亩”的经营规模。本文就是在笔者过去研究的基础上,对这种经营规模的效益在近世中的变迁展开考察。并且,将这种考察置于一个广阔的宏观视野之中,即进行跨地域的横向比较。最后,从微观和宏观两个层面上探讨了近世广西农民农场劳动生产率徘徊不前的制约性因素。

A norm of farm size of “a family works twelve mu” had appeared and spread in villages of Guangxi since modern time. Firstly, on the basis of the author＇s past research, the paper verifies the change of returns to scale of farmer＇ s cultivated land management. Secondly, the paper compares farm labor productivity in Guangxi with that in other areas of China during the same period and that in England during the early modem period on the broad macro- perspective. Last but not least, the author interprets a variety of constrained factors having led to underdevelopment of farm labor productivity in modem Guangxi from both micro and the macro levels.
