地权安全性会改变农户投资行为吗——基于CHARLS2011和2013年数据的实证研究

Does Land Tenure Security Change Farmer’s Investment Behavior?——Evidence from 2011/2013 CHARLS

本文应用＂中国健康与养老追踪调查＂2011和2013年数据,研究我国农村地区地权安全及其对农户生产投资和人力资本投资行为的影响。结果表明,地权安全性的提高能够鼓励农户持续进行农业生产投资,但是对农户农业投资总量并没有显著的直接影响;同时,地权安全性强化了农户家庭进行人力资本投资的动机,鼓励农户增加人力资本的投入。地权安全性的提高为农户的教育与健康支出提供了收入保障,增强农户的风险承受能力,促进了农村劳动力的转移和农地流转的意愿,但对农业实际生产投资的影响则是不确定的。在进一步考虑地权安全性内生于土地调整历史的情形下,土地长期未发生调整的农户地权安全性变化更小,地权稳定性更高。我国现阶段土地制度改革的推进将有利于引导农村劳动力合理地流动或转移,通过农业和非农产业资源配置的优化实现农业生产的规模经济以及产量增长。

This paper used the community and household level data from 2011-2013 CHARLS to explore the effect of land tenure security on farmer＇s agricultural investment and human capital investment in rural China. The empirical results show that tenure security encouraged farmers to engage in agricultural investment sustainably,but had insignificant effect on gross agricultural investment. Land tenure security stimulated farmers to increase their human capital investment,provided additional security for income growth and risk bearing capability,and promoted the willingness of rural-urban migration. However,the effect on agricultural investment cannot be sure. These results are robust with the consideration of endogenous tenure security in land adjustment history.
