Land Circulation,the Agriculture-Community Relationship,and Agricultural Production Efficiency:An Empirical Analysis Based on the ESR Model
Clarifying the relationship between farmers and cooperatives(referred to as"farmer-coopera-tive relations")is a crucial issue in evaluating the effectiveness of cooperative policies on agricultural pro-duction efficiency.This study first constructs a theoretical framework that illustrates how land transfer a-mong farmers influences farmer-cooperative relations,subsequently leading to differences in agricultural production efficiency.Utilizing microdata from the China Rural Revitalization Survey(CRRS),we estab-lish an Endogenous Switching Regression(ESR)model.Through constructing counterfactual scenarios,we analyze the differences in agricultural production efficiency under varying farmer-cooperative relation-ships.The research findings indicate that an increase in the net land transfer rate for farmers facilitates their utilization of cooperative services;however,it does not significantly impact their decision to join or invest in cooperatives.Furthermore,a deeper integration of farmer-cooperative relations does not neces-sarily enhance agricultural production efficiency.While member utilization of cooperative services posi-tively contributes to improving agricultural production efficiency,mere membership without active engage-ment fails to yield similar benefits;conversely,investing in cooperatives appears to diminish agricultural production efficiency.For smallholder farmers-who are often a focal point for government attention-the positive effect of investment on enhancing agricultural production efficiency is more pronounced,yet there remains potential for further growth.
