新型农业经营主体与其加入合作社行为的实证分析——基于全国795家种植业家庭农场面板数据

An Empirical Analysis of Land Management Scale of New Types of Agricultural Businesses and Their Participation in Cooperatives:Based on the National 795 Farming Family Farm Panel Data

加入合作社作为农业经营主体参与市场竞争的有效方式,不仅是构建新型农业经营体系的重要举措,也是建设现代农业的应有之义。就新型农业经营主体家庭农场而言,理论上看,家庭农场加入合作社的意愿和概率会随其经营规模的扩大而逐渐提升。文章的研究目的就在于实证分析土地经营规模与家庭农场入社行为之间的关系。考虑到土地经营规模与农场加入合作社之间的联立性关系会带来内生性问题,文章采用工具变量估计方法,基于全国家庭农场监测2014—2016年795家种植业家庭农场面板数据进行实证分析。估计结果表明:家庭农场土地经营规模对于农场加入合作社具有显著的正向作用,即那些经营规模大的农场加入合作社的概率更高;即使考虑到家庭农场所在地区合作社数量的外生影响,这个结论依然稳健。文章最后给出了相应的政策建议。

Joining cooperatives as an effective way for agricultural businesses to participate in market competition is not only an important measure for constructing a new type of agricultural management system,but also a proper meaning for building modern agriculture.For the new type of agricultural business-family farms,theoretically,the willingness and probability of family farms joining cooperatives will gradually increase with the expansion of their scale of operation.Therefore,the purpose of this paper is to empirically analyze the relationship between the scale of land management and the behavior of joining cooperatives of family farms.Considering the endogenous problems caused by the simultaneous relationship between land management scale and the behavior of joining cooperatives,this paper adopts the instrumental variable estimation method and the panel data of 795 farming family farms by the national family farm monitoring activities from 2014-2016 to analyze the behavior of joining cooperatives empirically.The estimation results show that the scale of land management for family farms has a significant positive effect on farms joining cooperatives,that is,the probability of farms with large scale of operations joining cooperatives is even higher;and even considering the exogenous effects of the number of cooperatives in the area of the family farms,this conclusion is still robust.Finally,the article gives the corresponding policy recommendations.
