中文摘要
本文考察了中国农村一项允许农民出租其土地的产权改革的影响。我们发现，该改革使农户的土地租赁活动增加。我们的结果表明，租赁权的正式化使土地向生产率更高的农民重新配置。因此，产出和总体生产率分别提高了8%和10%。我们还发现，该改革提高了作物间土地配置对作物价格变化的响应程度。
Abstract
Abstract This article examines the impact of a property rights reform in rural China that allowed farmers to lease out their land. We find the reform led to increases in land rental activity in rural households. Our results indicate that the formalization of leasing rights resulted in a redistribution of land toward more-productive farmers. Consequently, output and aggregate productivity increased by 8$\%$ and 10$\%$, respectively. We also find that the reform increased the responsiveness of land allocation across crops to changes in crop prices.
