Urban-rural Construction Land Market Integration Models and Differentiation Mechanisms at the County Level:A Comparative Case Study of Deqing County,Zhejiang Province and Nanhai District,Guangdong Province
The integration of urban and rural construction land markets is a key approach to deepening the market-oriented allocation of land elements and achieving shared prosperity.To analyze the typical models of current urban-rural construction land market integration and explain their differentiation mechanisms in depth,this paper conducts a comparative analysis of the integration practices in Deqing County,Zhejiang Province and Nanhai District,Guangdong Province based on the analytical framework of"Property Rights Order-Structure-Conduct-Performance".The findings indicate that the integration of urban and rural construction land markets is a complex process that combines the evolution of collective land property rights orders and the transformation of urban-rural construction land market structures.Local governments and village collectives,as both property rights holders and market entities,serve as key intermediaries linking the two processes of property rights order evolution and market structure transformation.The game of power between these two parties in policy experimentation and market practices has shaped the current chaotic property rights order in reality.The market structure and stakeholder relationships based on property rights orders,together with the incentive compatibility between local governments and village collectives regarding market performance goals,determine whether the urban-rural construction land markets face complementary or substitutive competition in their transition from complete monopoly to monopolistic competition.Under the combined effect of property rights order evolution and market competition,the integration models of urban-rural construction land markets have differentiated into two types:complementary and competitive.Furthermore,in the context of land system reform and the dynamic market environment,there exists potential for transformation between these models.In the future,the selection of urban-rural construction land market integration models should comprehensively consider regional property rights orders and market structures;market development should fully integrate the advantages of government coordination and village autonomy.Additionally,the formulation of specific transaction rules is expected to consider the constraints of existing social norms.
