Abstract

Abstract This study examines the impact of land tenure systems on aquaculture farm productivity, efficiency, and profitability based on information obtained from interviews with 517 randomly selected aquaculture farms across Bangladesh. Propensity score matching (PSM) is used to estimate productivity variation, and the stochastic frontier production function (SFPF) is employed to analyze efficiency variation depending on aquaculture farms’ land ownership. The results reveal that the productivity and efficiency of cash tenant farms are significantly higher than those of self-owned farms, but that the land-owner extracts most of the associated profits through the rent. Furthermore, the efficiency of self-owned farms decreases with farm size, while the opposite is true for cash tenant farms.

提高孟加拉国水产养殖生产力、效率和盈利能力：土地所有权重要吗？

本研究基于对孟加拉国517个随机选择的水产养殖场的访谈信息，探讨了土地权制对水产养殖场生产力、效率和盈利能力的影响。采用倾向得分匹配(PSM)估计生产力变化，采用随机前沿生产函数(SFPF)分析不同养殖场土地所有权下的效率变化。结果表明，现金租赁农场的生产率和效率显著高于自营农场，但土地所有者通过租金提取了大部分相关利润。此外，自营农场的效率随着农场规模的增加而降低，而现金租赁农场的效率则相反。
