Does China's land system reform improve agricultural production performance——a quasi-natural ex-periment based on the system of three-right separation
Accelerating the improvement of land system is the internal requirement of optimizing the allocation of agricultural land elements and promoting the development of agricultural new quality productivity in China.Based on the sample pool data of 65 major countries in the world,this paper analyzes the effects of the three-right separation on increasing production and income by SCM method.Results show that the net effect of three-right separation on per mu grain yield and agricultural value-added is 5.4%and 12.1%,significantly improving agricultural yield and income-earning capacity.Further analysis found that the"separa-tion of three rights"system has a higher effect on increasing production and income by 5.9%and 7.7%compared to private own-ership countries,and 8.4%and 32.3%compared to public ownership countries,demonstrating the superiority of three-right sep-aration system.The provinces of China were regarded as experimental samples,and the robustness of the results was verified us-ing the DID method.Finally,it suggested to appropriately regulate the agricultural land market,eliminate various factors that may cause market failure in the agricultural land management rights market,and fully ensure the effectiveness of market-based al-location of agricultural land,giving better play to the superiority of the agricultural land system.
