The Efficiency of the Property Right Reform in Promoting the Development of the New Rural Collective Economy and the Reform Deepening Direction
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasizes the development of the new rural collective economy once again.This is not only the requirement to con-solidate and improve the basic rural management system,but also the key to achieve common prosperity for farmers in rural areas.Since 2016,the reform of rural collective property rights system has been car-ried out in an all-round way in China and has achieved phased results,but the effectiveness of the re-form in promoting the development of collective economy remains to be considered.This paper argues that the goal of the reform of rural collective property rights system is to promote the development of col-lective economy and increase farmers'property income through the verification of property and capital,the confirmation of rights and the empowerment,and the establishment of a new type of collective eco-nomic organization based on the joint-stock cooperative system.The promotion effect of the first round of five-year reform on the development of collective economy is mainly reflected in"clear ownership",which is reflected in three aspects:the inventory of assets,the liquidation of non-standard contracts,and the clarification of asset ownership.However,because the new collective economic organizations based on the joint-stock cooperative system have not established an effective operating mechanism,they have not become the core factor to promote the development of collective economy in this round of reform,so the incentive effect of property rights reform on resource allocation has not been fully played.To further release the effectiveness of the reform of rural collective property rights system in promoting the develop-ment of collective economy,the key is to construct an institutional mechanism and development environ-ment conducive to the effective operation of the joint-stock cooperative system.On the one hand,we should continue to focus on achieving"complete power","smooth circulation"and"strict protection".On the other hand,we should form an effective operating mechanism and development envi-ronment for rural collective economic organizations,which naturally constitutes the direction to deepen the reform.
