Abstract:

Using the survey data of 725 farmers from 39 villages in Jiangsu province, this paper empirically analyzes the influence of land transfer on the rural residents' income gap. The results showed that land transfer enables farmers to reconfigure their production inputs, and change the structure of their income. Based on the reality of the heterogeneity degree gradually increasing in rural society, land transfer has different effects on the income growth of the high-income and low-income farmers. Compared to the low-income farmers, land transfer is more advantageous to the income growth of the high-income farmers. The land transfer size of a village has a significant promoting effect on the growth of the gini coefficient, and had significant inhibitory effect on the income growth of the poorest quintile, namely, land transfer exacerbates the expansion of rural residents' income gap.

Key words: Land Transfer, Income Growth, Rural Residents' Income Gap

摘要：

本文利用江苏省农村地区39个村725户农户的调查数据,实证分析土地流转对农户内部收入差距的影响。研究结果表明,土地流转使农户在生产要素投入方面进行重新配置,进而改变其收入结构,而立足于农村社会异质化程度逐步加大的现实,土地流转对高、低收入农户的收入产生了不同的影响。相比于低收入农户,土地流转更有利于高收入农户收入的增长。一个村的土地流转规模对该村基尼系数的增长具有显著的促进作用,而对该村收入最低五分之一农户纯收入占比的增长具有显著的抑制作用,即土地流转加剧了农户内部收入差距扩大的趋势。
