Abstract

ABSTRACT Undertaking industrial transfers from the eastern region in China and other developed countries leads to the growth of urban construction in central and western China. This can result in serious problems, such as the reduction of the amount of cultivated land, thus endangering Chinese food security. This paper utilizes a system generalized method of moments (SYS-GMM) estimator and data from 2008 to 2015 for 17 provinces in central and western regions using a dynamic panel model to explore the effects of both domestic and foreign investments on urban construction land. The results show that both domestic and foreign investment have significant positive effects statistically and causally, although they can also have a complementary effect that lessens the positive effect. The impact of domestic investment is weaker than that of foreign investment. We propose land management suggestions with the aim of reducing the tension between industrial relocations and urban construction land.

工业向中西部转移对城市建设用地扩张的影响

承接中国东部地区和发达国家的产业转移，带动了中西部地区城市建设的增长。这可能导致严重的问题，如耕地数量减少，从而危及中国的粮食安全。本文利用系统广义矩量法(SYS-GMM)估计器和2008 - 2015年中西部17个省份的数据，采用动态面板模型，探讨了国内外投资对城镇建设用地的影响。结果表明，在统计上和因果关系上，内外资都具有显著的正向效应，但它们也可能存在互补效应，从而减弱正向效应。国内投资的影响弱于外国投资的影响。我们提出了土地管理建议，旨在缓解工业搬迁与城市建设用地之间的紧张关系。
