Abstract

Along with the rapid economic growth, there has been a booming demand for agricultural products in china, but the increased land usage for the manufacturing sector has caused a decrease in the total cultivated land. Through the data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach, this study first constructs the index of the total-factor cultivated land efficiency (TFcLE) by taking the ratio of the actual cultivated land input to target the cultivated land input. next, we examine the determinants of inefficiency on the cultivated land use. Based on a province-level panel data over 1997–2006, the empirical estimates indicate that the TFcLE is moderate and fluctuates during the sample period, ranging from 0.601 to 0.713, suggesting room for efficiency improvement in chinese farmland use. The coastal regions are found to experience a significantly higher degree of the TFcLE compared with non-coastal regions. overall, there is no significant competition effect brought on by the WTo entry on promoting TFcLE, though this effect differs between the coastal and non-coastal regions. The second-stage regression results show that the natural and artificial disasters, flood, drought, and pollution are the the main causes of inefficiency. innovative activity and the FDi are evidenced to have a significantly positive relation with the TFcLE in chinese agriculture. We also find the positive TFcLE-enhancing the effects of production diversification and

中国农业全要素耕地效率分析。

随着经济的快速增长，中国对农产品的需求不断增加，但制造业用地的增加导致耕地总量减少。本文首先通过数据包络分析(DEA)方法，以实际耕地投入的比例为指标，构建了全要素耕地效率(TFcLE)指标。接下来，我们考察了耕地利用效率低下的决定因素。基于1997-2006年的省级面板数据，实证估计表明，在样本期内，农地利用效率指数处于中等水平，在0.601 ~ 0.713之间波动，表明中国农地利用效率仍有提升空间。研究发现，沿海地区的TFcLE程度明显高于非沿海地区。总体上看，加入WTo对沿海地区和非沿海地区的tcfd推广没有带来显著的竞争效应，但这种效应在沿海地区和非沿海地区有所不同。第二阶段的回归结果表明，自然灾害和人为灾害、洪水、干旱和污染是造成效率低下的主要原因。研究表明，创新活动和外商直接投资与中国农业企业的非农就业能力之间存在显著正相关关系。我们还发现了正向的tcfl -促进生产多元化和

期刊介绍： An international peer-reviewed journal published under the auspices of the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences and financed by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic. Published since 1954 (by 1999 under the title Zemědělská ekonomika).Thematic scope: original scientific papers dealing with agricultural subjects from the sphere of economics, management, informatics, ecology, social economy and sociology. Since 1993 the papers continually treat problems which were published in the journal Sociologie venkova a zemědělství until now. An extensive scope of subjects in fact covers the whole of agribusiness, that means economic relations of suppliers and producers of inputs for agriculture and food industry, problems from the aspects of social economy and rural sociology and finally the economics of the population nutrition. Papers are published in English.
