Overview

Randomized trial explores land rental market effects on productivity in rural China, indicating policy implications.

Key Points

  • To examine how participation in land rental markets affects agricultural commercialization and productivity among rural Chinese households.
  • Utilized nationally representative panel data on rural Chinese households.
  • Applied bivariate Tobit model, fixed effects models, and instrumental variable methods to address endogeneity.
  • Investigated the relationship between land rental area and commercialization decisions.
  • Farm households' land rental areas and commercialization decisions are mutually reinforcing.
  • Renting farmland improves agricultural labor productivity, but reduces land productivity.
  • Agricultural commercialization positively influences both land and labor productivity.
