Abstract

PurposeThe contradiction of construction land in economically developed regions is becoming more prominent, and the scale of construction land in some large cities is close to the ceiling. Therefore, China implemented the policy of construction land reduction in 2014. The main objective is to optimize the stock of homesteads and then help to realize rural revitalization by transferring land indexes across regions. Shanghai took the lead in implementing the reduction policy in 2014, for which reduction acceptance data are available. Thus, this paper evaluates the impact of homestead reduction on rural economic development based on data from towns in Shanghai.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses the difference-in-difference (DID) model to analyze the policy effects of homestead reduction on rural residents' income and industrial integration development. Using economic agglomeration (EA) as a mediating variable, the authors explore how homestead reduction (HR) promotes EA to drive rural economic development and analyze the impact of geographic location and government investment.FindingsHR significantly promotes rural economic development and shows a significant cumulative effect. In the long run, HR can improve rural residents' income and promote industrial integration by promoting EA. The positive effect of HR and EA in suburban regions on industrial integration development is gradually increasing. However, the incentive effect on rural residents' income is weakening. The positive mediating effect of EA is significantly higher in regions with low government investment than in regions with high government investment.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to testing the impact of HR policy on rural economic development and can provide a reference for other regions aiming to implement reduction policy.

宅基地减少、经济集聚与农村经济发展——来自中国上海的证据

目的经济发达地区建设用地矛盾日益突出，部分大城市建设用地规模已接近上限。因此，中国在2014年实施了减少建设用地的政策。主要目标是通过土地指数的跨区域转移，优化宅基地存量，实现乡村振兴。上海在2014年率先实施了减量化政策，并有减量化验收数据。因此，本文以上海市城镇为样本，评价了宅基地减量化对农村经济发展的影响。设计/方法/途径本文采用差异中差异(DID)模型分析了宅基地减少对农村居民收入和产业融合发展的政策效应。以经济集聚(EA)为中介变量，探讨宅基地减少(HR)如何促进经济集聚带动农村经济发展，并分析地理位置和政府投资的影响。研究发现，农村重建制对农村经济发展具有显著的促进作用，且具有显著的累积效应。从长期来看，人力资源可以通过促进EA来提高农村居民收入，促进产业融合。城郊地区人力资源和EA对产业融合发展的积极作用正在逐渐增强。但对农村居民收入的激励作用正在减弱。在政府投资低的地区，EA的正向中介作用显著高于政府投资高的地区。本文有助于检验人力资源政策对农村经济发展的影响，并可为其他地区实施减薪政策提供参考。

期刊介绍： Published in association with China Agricultural University and the Chinese Association for Agricultural Economics, China Agricultural Economic Review publishes academic writings by international scholars, and particularly encourages empirical work that can be replicated and extended by others; and research articles that employ econometric and statistical hypothesis testing, optimization and simulation models. The journal aims to publish research which can be applied to China’s agricultural and rural policy-making process, the development of the agricultural economics discipline and to developing countries hoping to learn from China’s agricultural and rural development.
