社会信任对农地租赁市场的影响

Impact of Social Trust on Farmland Rental Markets

将社会信任划分为人际信任和制度信任两维度,考察在农地产权缺乏稳定性和农地租赁市场缺乏有效性的情境中,社会信任对农地租赁市场的影响机理及其蕴含的政策建议。本文基于比较静态方法,在界定农地产权风险和社会信任等关键概念的基础上,理论分析社会信任通过稳定农地产权风险预期与降低农地流转交易成本,影响农地流转市场参与、流转租金及流转规模的作用机理,并对762户苹果种植户的调查数据运用线性回归模型进行实证检验。研究结果显示:人际信任、制度信任对培育农地租赁市场具有正向影响。制度信任通过稳定农地产权风险预期,对提高农户参与农地租赁市场具有正向影响;人际信任通过降低农地流转交易成本,对扩大农地流转规模具有正向影响;人际信任通过稳定农地产权风险预期,对形成有偿契约机制具有正向影响。研究结论:在社会信任中,制度信任所表征的农地产权正式制度安排主要影响农地流转的市场主体参与,人际信任所表征的市场交易非正式制度安排主要影响农地流转租金、规模等具体契约的确定。培育农地租赁市场的制度需求在于深化产权改革,提高农地租赁市场效率重在提升市场主体之间的人际信任。本文的研究结论对理解农地租赁市场运行机理、改善农地租赁市场运行效率具有重要意义。

In the context of lack of stability of farmland property rights and ineffective farmland rental markets,this paper analyses the influencing mechanism of social trust on farmland rental markets and its policy suggestion after dividing social trust into institutional trust and interpersonal trust.This paper analyses theoretically the influencing mechanism of social trust on participating in the farmland rental markets,rents and size of farmland transfer by stabilizing the expectation of the risks of property rights and reducing transaction costs based on the comparative static analysis and the key concepts such as the risk of farmland property rights and social trust defined,and the linear regression model and the survey data of 762 apple growers are used for empirical test.The results indicate that:institutional trust and interpersonal trust can positively affect the development of farmland rental markets;from the perspective of the influencing mechanism①institutional trust can boost farmland transfer by stabilizing the expectation of the risks of property rights;②interpersonal trust can expand the size of farmland transfer by reducing transaction costs;③interpersonal trust can affect positively the formation of onerous contracts by stabilizing the expectation of the risks of property rights.Conclusion:In social trust,the institutional trust,which can reflect the formal system of farmland property rights,is the key factor of affecting participating in farmland rental markets,and the interpersonal trust,which can reflect the informal system of market transactions,is the key factor of affecting the specific content of contracts such as rents and size of farmland transfer.The institutional demand of developing rental markets focus on deepening the reform of the system of farmland property rights,and lifting the interpersonal trust among market players is conducive to improving the efficiency of farmland rental markets.The research conclusions in this paper are conducive to understanding the operation mechanism of farmland rental markets and improving the operation efficiency of farmland rental markets.
