摘要

利用马拉维关于农业产出和投入物理量的详细家庭数据,我们在控制土地质量、降雨和短暂冲击的情况下,衡量了农业全要素生产率(TFP)。研究发现,经营用地规模和资本与农业全要素生产率基本无关,这意味着存在严重的要素错配。在现有农民中有效利用要素的重新配置所带来的农业产出增长是一个1.7至2.8倍的因素。我们提供了将土地分配不当与土地市场规模联系起来的证据,并说明了通过租赁市场进行有效分配如何能够大幅减少农业收入不平等和贫困。(jel d24, d31, i32, o13, o15, q12, q15)

Land Misallocation and Productivity
Using detailed household-level data from Malawi on physical quantities of agricultural outputs and inputs, we measure farm total factor productivity (TFP), controlling for land quality, rain, and transitory shocks. We find that operated land size and capital are essentially unrelated to farm TFP, implying substantial factor misallocation. The agricultural output gain from a reallocation of factors to their efficient use among existing farmers is a factor between 1.7- and 2.8-fold. We provide suggestive evidence connecting misallocation with the extent of land markets and illustrate how an efficient allocation via rental markets can substantially reduce agricultural income inequality and poverty.

期刊介绍: American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics focuses on studies of aggregate fluctuations and growth, and the role of policy in that context. Such studies often borrow from and interact with research in other fields, such as monetary theory, industrial organization, finance, labor economics, political economy, public finance, international economics, and development economics. To the extent that they make a contribution to macroeconomics, papers in these fields are also welcome.
