Abstract
Prior studies emphasize more on the importance of land titling, but do not explored the institutional effects of a specific land titling policy. Then, this paper explores the effect of land consolidation titling policy on Chinese farmers’ fertiliser use. Based on a quasi-natural experiment data, the difference-in-differences estimation shows that land consolidation titling inspires farmers to reduce chemical fertiliser use by 63.52 yuan per mu. Additionally, land consolidation titling significantly motivates farmers to use organic fertiliser by 24.29 jin per mu. Further, the mediating effect analysis shows that the change in farmers’ fertiliser use can be explained by improving the resource attributes’ value and enhancing the security of property rights, respectively. These findings reveal the importance of the policy combination of land consolidation and land reallocation, which can effectively support soil health and agricultural green development.
