摘要

中国土地所有权的经济影响已受到广泛关注；然而，土地所有权与村长选举之间的关系仍不清楚。本研究利用2016 - 2018年中国劳动力动态调查的一个小组来评估土地所有权对农民投票行为的影响。模型结果表明，土地所有权增加了农民选举受教育程度高的村长的概率。我们确认，这种影响效应的机制是通过增加土地权利的排他性、提高选民独立性和扩大“候选人池”的范围来实现的。研究发现，家庭耕地面积和宗族文化分别增强和削弱了这种影响效应。

Rise of meritocracy: Effects of land titling on village chief elections in China

The economic impact of land titling in China has received widespread attention; however, the relationship between land titling and the election of village chiefs remains unclear. This study uses a panel of the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey for two periods from 2016 to 2018 to assess the impact of land titling on farmers’ voting behavior. The results of the model demonstrate that land titling increases the probability of farmers electing village chiefs with high levels of education. We confirm that the mechanism of this influence effect is realized by increasing the exclusivity of land rights, improving voter independence, and expanding the scope of the “candidate pool.” We find that household cultivated area and clan culture may reinforce and weaken this influence effect, respectively.
