市场发育会缩小农户的农地流转意愿受偿价格和意愿支付价格差异吗

Dose the Market Development Reduce the Difference Between Rural Households’Willingness to Accept and Willingness to Pay for Farmland Transfer?

农户的农地流转意愿受偿价格和意愿支付价格之间存在较大差异,这被认为是阻碍农地租赁交易顺利达成的重要原因。为揭示市场失灵抑制农地流转的内在机理,本文通过构建农地供需模型反映农地流转市场发育程度对农户的农地流转意愿受偿价格和意愿支付价格差异的影响,并利用中国5省14个样本村563户水稻种植户的调查数据进行实证检验。研究发现:农户的农地流转意愿受偿价格和意愿支付价格差异与农地流转市场发育程度存在内在关联。在农地市场失灵状态下,高昂的农地交易成本、低水平的农地市场流转价格以及农户对农地的依赖均是导致意愿受偿价格和意愿支付价格差异形成的重要原因。农地流转市场发育能够有效降低农地流转的交易成本,提高农地市场化流转带来的收益,降低农户对农地的依赖,从而缩小农户的农地流转意愿价格差异,最终推动农地流转。异质性分析发现,现阶段在农户群体中占据主体地位的“满足口粮型”农户比“追求收入型”农户更容易受到农地流转市场发育程度的影响,农地流转市场发育将会显著缩小“满足口粮型”农户的农地流转意愿受偿价格和意愿支付价格差异。

The difference between rural households’Willingness to Accept(WTA)and Willingness to Pay(WTP)for farmland transfer is considered to be an important barrier against rural land lease transactions.In order to reveal how market failure discourages farmland transfer,this study constructs a model of land supply and demand to illustrate the impact of the farmland transfer market development on the difference between rural households’WTA and WTP for land transfer.We conduct an empirical analysis using survey data of 563 rice growing households from 14 sample villages in five provinces of China.We find that there is a significant relationship between the difference between rural households’WTA and WTP and the development degree of the farmland transfer market.When market failure occurs,high farmland transfer costs and low transfer prices,as well as rural households’strong reliance on land,result in the difference between their WTA and WTP.The development of farmland transfer markets can effectively reduce the transaction costs,increase the revenue,and reduce rural households’reliance on land,thus decreasing the WTA-WTP differences and ultimately encouraging land transfer.We also find that“ration-satisfied”households,who are the majority at current,are more likely to be affected by the development of farmland transfer market than“income-seeking”households,and the market development helps reduce the difference between WTA and WTP among“ration-satisfied”households.
