Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to study how the interests of farmland transfer be distributed among the government, contractors, and farmland transferees. The process of the paper is to analyze the evolutionary stability strategies of the government, contractors, and farmland transferees by building a three-party evolutionary game model; in order to identify the equilibrium point of the three-party evolutionary game, an example of interest distribution in a village in Anhui Province is used to analyze and simulate the three-party evolutionary game. The conclusions of the paper are as follows: the combination of a one-party subsidy, transferring farmland, and grain production is the ideal equilibrium result in the three-party game; farmland transfer rent is the a crucial factor of interest balance among the three parties; only if the farmland transfer rental price is larger than the sum of the contractor’s self-farming incomes and subsidies and lower than the grain income of the transferee can the three parties realize the equilibrium of interest distribution. The suggestions of the paper are that the government should carry out the system of “retirement allowance” and transform “subsidy” to “allowance” to protect the interests of contractors, and the government should promote farmland transfer and encourage grain production by controlling the fluctuation range of farmland transfer rent.
Highlights
If a < θa, the transferees will engage in grain production; if a > θa, the transferees will engage in nongrain production
Regarding interest distribution in farmland transfer, there is an ideal equilibrium result in the interest game among the government, the contractors, and the transferees: one-party subsidy, transferring farmland, and grain production. e premise is that the rent of farmland transfer is greater than the sum of the contractors’ self-farming income and the agricultural subsidies
In the tripartite evolutionary game, this is an evolution stable strategy of the government to subsidize grain production for transferees, which means that the government will give up subsidies for both the contractors and the transferees, only subsidizing the transferees
Summary
Regarding the interest distribution of farmland transfer in China, scholars focus on studying in which ways farmland transfer parties participate in the interest distribution of farmland transfer and the income status of farmers after such transfer. Farmland has little effect on reducing rural income inequality, so policy makers need to encourage poor farmers to transfer out farmland [28]; in areas with underdeveloped economy and low income of land units, farmland transfer improves income distribution [29] In all of these studies, scholars focus on the means and ways of farmland transfer parties to participate in the distribution of farmland transfer interests, for example, the subsidy between the government and farmers, the rent of farmland transfer between the transferors and transferees, the subsidy between the government and transferees, or the income distribution effect after farmland transfer. Using the tripartite evolutionary game, it reveals the interest objectives, the coping strategies, and the game equilibrium of the participants in the farmland transfer, and it better predicts the final interest distribution state of the three parties in the farmland transfer, so as to provide reference for decision-making of the government, contractors, and the transferees
