新一轮农地确权促进连片规模经营——来自地块离散流转与连片流转的证据

Does Land Titling Promote the Operation of Large-scale Plots?Evidence from Discrete Land Transfer and Adjacent Land Transfer

本文根据农地流转双方地块位置是否相邻,将农户流转行为区分为离散流转和连片流转,考察新一轮农地确权对农地流转规模经营效应的影响。研究发现,农地确权通过减少农地边界破坏行为和农业生产矛盾,降低相邻地块流转的交易成本,显著促进了地块连片流转,进而推进农地的连片规模经营。不仅如此,相比离散流转,连片流转的书面合同签订概率更高、零租金更少、期限更长,有助于推进农地产权交易的契约化。文章强调,鉴于连片流转效应的时滞性,应坚持并深化新一轮农地确权改革,以进一步缓解“地权细碎化界定”与“农地规模化利用”之间的冲突。

According to the adjacency of land transfers,we categorize farmers land transfers into discrete and adjacent transfers to examine the impact of land titling.We find that land titling significantly promotes adjacent transfers among farmers by reducing transaction costs associated with neighboring plots,such as boundary disputes and productive contradiction.Compared to discrete transfers,adjacent transfers have a higher likelihood of formalizing written contracts,lower instances of zero rent agreements,and longer durations,thus promoting the contractualization of land rights transactions.The time lag of the adjacent transfer effect underscores the importance of deepening land titling to alleviate the conflict between fragmented land rights and large-scale land use.
