Abstract
Land property security and advanced factor inputs play critical roles in agricultural modernization in developing countries. However, there are unclear relationships between land property security and advanced factor inputs. This study aims to clarify these relationships from the perspective of the differentiation of the realization process of land property security. From the perspective of property rights theory and endowment effects, data from 2934 farming households in rural China are used to determine the quantitative impacts of land registration and adjustment experience on the adoption of agricultural machinery. The results are as follows: (i) Land registration does not affect the adoption of agricultural machinery. (ii) Adjustment experience has a negative impact on the adoption of agricultural machinery. (iii) The interaction of land registration and adjustment experience has a positive impact on the adoption of agricultural machinery. This study provides some policy references with which developing countries can achieve agricultural modernization and revitalize the countryside by improving property rights security.
Highlights
Agricultural mechanization is an important factor in agricultural modernization in developing countries [1,2,3]
The results show that: (i)adoption; there is a (ii) positive between land registration adjustment experience and the agricultural machinery adoption; (iii) there is aadjustment positive correlation and the agricultural machinery adoption; (ii) there is a positive correlation between experience between the interaction of land registration, adjustment experience, and agricultural machinery and the agricultural machinery adoption; (iii) there is a positive correlation between the interaction of adoption
Based on data from 2934 farming households in rural China, this study focuses on the quantitative impacts of land registration, adjustment experience, and their interactions on the adoption of agricultural machinery
Summary
Agricultural mechanization is an important factor in agricultural modernization in developing countries [1,2,3]. It matters not just because agricultural machinery helps to improve agricultural productivity [4,5,6], but because it is correlated with agricultural economic growth [7,8]. The adoption of agricultural machinery helps improve agricultural productivity [14,16,17]. Paudel et al [17] found that the adoption of agricultural machinery could improve rice productivity by 1110 kg/ha. Agricultural mechanization is the key method for developing countries to realize agricultural modernization [18,19]
