为探究农业生产向现代化转型背景下合作社的区位选择与建设、发展,促进不同类型合作社的精准培育,研究选取重庆市江津区作为研究区,基于江津区2005—2019年合作社微观面板数据,采用最近邻指数、核密度、标准差椭圆、地理探测器,分析了合作社时空扩展特征及其驱动力。结果表明:(1)合作社发展呈现3个增长阶段,2005—2010年起步缓慢增长,2011—2015年稳步快速增长,2016—2019年成熟缓慢增长;(2)在空间上显著聚集,集中分布于中西部地区。不同产业类型和种养规模分类下各类合作社空间分布均呈显著聚集;(3)合作社整体呈西北—东南分布并向东南方扩张;(4)乡村劳动力和交通运输是影响合作社空间分异的主要驱动力,如对果蔬、粮油、畜禽、综合、花椒和服务类合作社影响最大是乡村劳动力,而对特色类合作社影响最大的是交通运输。综上,江津区农民专业合作社随时间变化数量呈阶段性增长,空间分布显著聚集且向东南方扩张,社会经济因素对其空间分异的影响大于自然因素。

信贷支持能否促进农民专业合作社实现纵向一体化发展——基于1222个农民专业合作社的调查

基于“新型农业经营主体发展指数调查”中1222个农民专业合作社样本,研究信贷支持对农民专业合作社纵向一体化发展的影响。Probit模型与工具变量法的回归结果均表明,与没有获得信贷的农民专业合作社相比,获得信贷的农民专业合作社更有可能实现纵向一体化。机制分析表明,信贷支持可以为农民专业合作社提供资金支撑,缓解其实现纵向一体化的资金约束,但是小规模农民专业合作社的发展还需要更多政策支持。通过获得信贷支持,农民专业合作社可以采取平滑消费的事后方式来应对风险,从而减轻其在纵向一体化过程中的风险规避程度。
