摘要

摘要:从1750年到1850年，中国人口增长了四倍，其原因和方式一直令人困惑。描述/解释以及保留/怀疑差异很大，辩论可以同时充满活力和不妥协。本研究旨在定性地解决争论的某些方面，一方面通过观察中国的资源禀赋(如农田)、技术(新作物)、制度(土地所有权、援助移民、救灾等)和外生冲击(战争和自然灾害)之间的相互作用，一方面通过对人口增长与影响人口增长的因素之间的相关性进行实证检验。我们的主要研究结果表明，清朝(1644-1911)中国的人口激增是在积极因素的协同作用下实现的，主要是非市场部门。

China's Extraordinary Population Expansion and Its Determinants during the Qing Period, 1644-1911

Abstract:It has long been puzzled why and how China's population was able to multiply four-fold from circa 1750 to 1850. Descriptions/explanations as well as reservations/suspicions vary widely and the debate can be energetic and uncompromising at the same time. This research aims to settle some aspects of the debate both qualitatively by looking at the interplay between China's resource endowments (e.g. farmland), technology (new crops), institutions (landownership, aided migration, disaster relief and so forth) and exogenous shocks (wars and natural disasters) on the one hand, and quantitatively by deploying empirical test on correlations between populations growth and factors that influenced that growth. Our key findings indicate that China's demographic upsurge during the Qing Period (1644-1911) was achieved with a synergy of positive factors and mainly by the non-market sector.
