摘要：

中国农地流转的多维影响尚未得到深入研究，本文的目的是提供关于农地流转的农业全要素生产率（TFP）的中介作用对中国农业经济增长的影响的见解。基于2005-2018年中国30个省份的农业数据，本文使用中介效应模型检验了农地流转、农业全要素生产率和农业经济增长之间的关系，研究农业全要素生产率在农地流转对农业经济增长影响中的中介作用。研究发现，农地流转对促进农业经济增长有显著影响，农地流转与农业全要素生产率之间存在显着的“倒U形”关系，中国农地流转的84.3％样本量仍在全要素生产率促进效应范围之内。此外，农地流转通过农业全要素生产率对农业经济增长产生间接影响，农业全要素生产率发挥着重要的中介作用，但效果相对较低。本文首次以农业全要素生产率为中介因素，提供有关农地流转对中国农业经济增长影响的证据。农业全要素生产率可以减少农地流转的内卷效应，并间接促进农业经济增长。

Abstract:

Purpose – The multidimensional effects of farmland transfer in China have been profoundly unstudied. The purpose of this paper is to provide insights on the effects of the intermediary role of agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) of farmland transfer on agricultural economic growth in China.

Design/methodology/approach – Based on the agricultural data of 30 provinces in China over the period 2005–2018, this paper uses the intermediary effect model to test the relationship between farmland transfer, agricultural TFP and agricultural economic growth. This paper employed an intermediary effect test model to investigate the intermediary role of agricultural TFP in the influence of farmland transfer on agricultural economic growth.

Findings – The findings indicated that farmland transfer has a significant effect on promoting agricultural economic growth. There is a significant “inverted U-shaped” relationship between farmland transfer and agricultural TFP. The sample value of 84.3% of farmland transfers in China is still within the TFP promoting effect range. In addition, farmland transfer has an indirect impact on agricultural economic growth through the channel of agricultural TFP. Agricultural TFP plays a significant intermediary role, but the effect is relatively low.

Originality/value – This paper is the first to provide fundamental evidence on the impact of farmland transfers on agricultural economic growth in China, driven by agricultural TFP as an intermediary factor. Agricultural TFP can reduce the involution effect of farmland transfer and promote an indirect effect on agricultural economic growth.
