How Did Land Reform and Collectivization Reshape China＇s Rural-Urban Relations

Based on archival materials, this article examines Land Reform and Collectivization in 1940s and 1950s from the viewpoint of rural-urban relations. It argues that there were various strong ties between rural society and urban society in traditional China. However, the programs of Land Reform and Collectivization cut off these ties and made it impossible for Chinese people to be ＂amphibious＂ as they were previously. This fundamental change reshaped China＇s rural-urban relations, making rural society and urban society two separate spheres. The new rural-urban relations lasted all the way down to the present without being overhauled.

Farmland Capitalization an Urgen issue in Institutional Reform

Developing modern agriculture is an important aspect of urban and rural integration. Chintz has adopted a new, highly compatible, multipronged approach. Judgingfrom current agricultural and rural policies, factors like capital, labor and land will continue to interact and revolve. The transformation of China＇s rural land tenure system is at a critical posifion in the overall strategy of developing tile rural economy. However, rural institutional reform will inevitably be constrained by the path and pattern China＇s industrialization, urbanization and agricultural modernization take. Creating a new pattern of urban and rural socioeconomic integration requires reform and improvement of rural grassroots governance structure. The interaction and reconsolidation of the factors have again become intertwined with the superstructure of rural society and will inevitably affect the direction and pace of rural grassroots governance structural reJbrm. Protecting the economic interests of farmers while respecting their democratic rights will always be at the heart of agricultural modernization.

从“氏族之人”到“编户齐民”——试论先秦时期社会成员身份的变迁

夏商西周时期,社会上几乎所有的人都生活于“族”之中。这些族,夏商时期称为“氏族”,西周时期则多称为“宗族”。春秋战国时期,虽然“人”“民”多混用无别,但两者的使用却出现了有所侧重的情况。“民”能够以地域为称,但并不以族为称,它所表现的是社会成员的地域特征,而“人”则可以表现其作为某族的血缘关系特征。社会成员间血缘关系的影响在削弱,而国家地域关系的影响在增强。社会成员身份的巨大变化是由氏族(宗族)之人,变成了国家控制下的编户齐民。“编户齐民”肇端于战国时期诸国授田制度的实施,到秦代则成为国家控制天下民众的最主要的制度。这种居民身份的变化深刻地影响着古代中国的历史发展。

土地政策松绑与县域新型城镇化——来自农村宅基地改革的经验证据

以县域为重要载体的新型城镇化是实现中国式现代化的必由之路,但随着农村剩余劳动力的不断外流,土地粗放利用、宅基地闲置甚至抛荒问题日益凸显。宅基地改革是促进土地要素与新型城镇化协调发展的重要举措,基于宅基地改革试点政策,运用多期双重差分法构造准自然实验,检验农村宅基地改革能否促进县域新型城镇化。研究发现:农村宅基地改革可以显著提升县域新型城镇化水平。政策路径识别发现,农村宅基地改革从非农就业、产业结构升级和激发市场潜能三方面提升县域新型城镇化水平。异质性研究表明,行政区划上,农村宅基地制度改革对于县、县级市和市辖区的新型城镇化水平提升能力呈现递增趋势;地区差异上,农村宅基地制度改革的政策效应在东部、中部地区县域得到有效发挥,对西部地区县域新型城镇化水平提升效果有限。通过土地政策改革推进以县域为载体的新型城镇化提供了经验证据,同时也从经验上就如何稳慎推进农村宅基地改革试点提供政策启示。

土地要素市场化改革能够提升企业生产效率吗?——基于工业用地市场化改革的准自然实验研究

深化土地要素市场化改革是提升全要素生产率、促进高质量发展的重要途径。基于微观企业视角,利用双重差分模型探究工业用地市场化改革对企业全要素生产率的影响,并从资源利用、资源配置和技术创新3个方面,探究具体的影响机制。结果表明:在研究期内,工业用地市场化改革整体上促进了企业全要素生产率提升约14%;对企业主体而言,规模越小、所属行业土地依赖程度越高,则全要素生产率的提升效果越明显;分区域来看,东北及西部地区企业生产效率的提升作用显著高于东部地区。进一步从中介效应看,该改革可以通过资源配置和技术创新来促进企业全要素生产率的提升;而资源利用机制并未发挥显著作用。综上,继续深化工业用地市场化改革,并着力优化土地资源在企业间的配置,提高企业技术创新水平,有利于企业生产率的提升。
