Different from the practices in countries with private land ownership like the United States, the practices of TDR in China are still dominated by local governments, which are trying hard to obtain extra construction land-use quota under China's current centralized land management system since the late 1990s. In this process, the land-use efficiency may be improved at the prices of social equity and harmony.展开更多

This article explores the innovative reforms adopted by Zhejiang Province through land development rights （LDR） transfer within a locality and LDR trading across localities. We argue that there is a ＂Zhejiang model of LDR transferring and trading,＂ which, we believe, has significant implications not only for fostering an efficiency-enhancing market for land development rights and agricultural land preservation, but also for optimal use of land and a more balanced regional development. One important policy issue relating to China＇s rural land system is that under China＇ s land requisition system, farmers are usually under compensated for urban land-taking.展开更多
