工业化时期英国农业劳动生产效率的计量分析

A Calculation on the Agricultural Labour Productivity of Britain during the Period of Industrialization

工业化时期(1700—1880)的英国农业既包括可耕地上粮食作物的种植,又涉及到草地上牲畜的养殖。从工业化初始阶段到工业化晚期,就单个农业劳动力生产的粮食可折合的混合谷物而言,英国的农业劳动生产效率提高了3倍有余。农业劳动生产效率的大幅度提高,促动了农业、非农产业的分工和土地的流动,推动了土地的规模经营,拉动了乡村社会的内需,推进了工业化的进程和经济结构的变动。

During the period of industrialization, the agriculture of Britain involved corn produced on arable land and animals raised on grass land. From the beginning to the end of Industrialization, as far as the mixed corn producing as concerned, the agricultural labour productivity was improved 3 times, which prompted the social divorce of agriculture and non-agricultural industry, propelled the formation of large scale farm, triggered the inner demand of the rural society and pushed the development of industrialization and the transformation of economic structure.
