Research on the Impact of Farmland Titling on Farmers'Subjective Well-being
Based on 2016 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey(CLDS)data,this paper empirically analyzed the impact of farmland titling on farmers'subjective well-being and its mechanisms by constructing an ordered Probit model and a mediating effect model.The results showed that farmland titling significantly increased farmers'subjective well-being.Farmers with confirmed titling had higher subjective well-being compared with those without confirmed titling.The results of robustness test indicated that the findings were reliable.The mediating effect analysis revealed that the mechanisms of farmland titling promoting farmers'subjective well-being were increasing agricultural income and reducing household mortgage debts.The results of the heterogeneity analysis showed that the effects of farmland titling increasing farmers'subjective well-being were mainly manifested in the samples from farmers with good health status,villages in hilly and mountainous area and eastern regions.Therefore,we should keep advancing the rural land system reform,consolidate the achievements of farmland titling,further promote land transfer,highlight the productive function of farmland,and continuously enhance the subjective well-being of farmers.
