Study on the Impact of Collective Commercial Construction Land Entering the Market on Rural Residents’Income:Taking Deqing County,Zhejiang Province as an Example

The entry of collective construction land for business purposes is an important measure for deepening the reform of the rural land system,promoting the flow of urban and rural factors,and realizing rural revitalization.Since the production of the first batch of pilot projects in 2015,33 county-level cities have participated in the pilot policy by 2023.Deqing County,Zhejiang Province,as the first area to participate in the pilot project,aims to achieve more fruitful results.This paper first examines how promoting farmers’income through the market entry of agricultural land can be achieved,then uses the synthetic control method to quantitatively study the impact of collective operational construction land on farmers’income using panel data from 2011 to 2019,and finally proposes relevant suggestions from the perspective of system reform.

Study on the Construction of China's Unified Urban-rural Construction Land Market

State-owned urban construction land market in China has evolved and been improved gradually, but use system of rural collective construction land has lagged far behind, so the urban-rural construction land market in China has been split with a result that use effi ciency of land resources is poor and collective land property rights of peasants are damaged. On the basis of analyzing problems of the current construction land market and also the causes, modern land property theory and institutional change of neoinstitutional economics are applied to study dynamical mechanism and development path of the construction land market, to construct the unifi ed construction land market system of China, and to propose corresponding guarantee policies, so as to achieve the effective allocation of construction land and maximization of social welfare.

Farmers Are Growing Further and Further from the Land:Land Transfer and the Practice of Three Rights Separation in China

Over the forty years since reform and opening up,China’s rural land system has undergone a drastic transition from the Two Rights Separation to the Three Rights Separation.Any examination of the latter must be grounded in the crucial field of land transfer.Our fieldwork in different areas across China revealed that the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization has driven a drastic increase in the intensive,large-scale transfer of land.As a result,the traditional small-farmer economy is disintegrating,accompanied by a widening distance between farmers and the land.In practice,the Three Rights Separation system exhibits some new characteristics:the growing substantiation of the ownership rights of the village collective,the demutualization of the contracting rights of farm households and the marketization of management rights.At the same time,in practice we have also seen a strengthening of the position of those enjoying ownership rights and management rights and a weakening of the position of those possessing contracting rights.To change the rural land system and accomplish its goal of rural revitalization,China must endeavor to construct a new type of collective market economy.
