Exploring the effect and mechanism of farmland transfer on agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP) in China is of great significance for exerting the effectiveness of China's farmland transfer policy and promoting green agricultural development. Based on panel data from 30 provinces from 2005 to 2020, this paper applies a two-way fixed effects model to analyze the impact of farmland transfer on AGTFP, and the mechanism of farmland transfer on AGTFP is also investigated. We find that farmland transfer has a significant and sound promoting effect on AGTFP, with respect to multiple robustness checks; there is heterogeneity regarding the impact of farmland transfer on AGTFP in terms of food functions, and farmland transfer can promote regional AGTFP through nonagricultural labor transfer and agricultural technology utilization. When considering the fact that farmland transfer has increased China's AGTFP, the Chinese government should continue to adhere to the farmland transfer policy, accelerate nonagricultural labor transfer, improve the level of agricultural technology utilization, and ultimately promote green agricultural development.
探究农地流转对中国农业绿色全要素生产率(AGTFP)的影响及作用机制,对于发挥中国农地流转政策效应、促进绿色农业发展具有重要意义。本文基于 2005—2020 年中国 30 个省份的面板数据,运用双向固定效应模型分析了农地流转对 AGTFP 的影响,并进一步探究了农地流转对 AGTFP 的作用机制。研究结果表明:农地流转对 AGTFP 具有显著且稳健的促进作用;农地流转对 AGTFP 的影响存在粮食功能异质性,农地流转可以通过农业劳动力转移和农业技术利用促进区域 AGTFP;考虑到农地流转提高了中国 AGTFP 的实际情况,中国政府应继续坚持农地流转政策,加快农业劳动力转移,提高农业技术利用水平,最终促进绿色农业发展。
