农村土地租赁市场在包括中国在内的发展中国家的农业转型时期发挥着越来越重要的作用，随着农村集体所有土地制度的实施，农村土地租赁具有高度的背景针对性；因此，农村家庭进入农田租赁市场的机会对他们的生计战略和收入产生了深远的影响。本文考察了农户参与农地租赁活动对收入的影响差异，并通过进一步评估租赁面积和农户农业生产率对收入的影响，探讨了农户参与农地租赁活动对收入的影响机制。实证模型的估计使用了中国全国住户调查的数据。研究结果表明，农地租赁对农户在农收入和家庭总收入有正向影响，但对农户非农收入没有显著影响。根据各分位数的收入差异，我们发现，农场收入高的家庭对通过出租农田来扩大农场规模更敏感，而中等和中上非收入家庭可能从出租农田中获得更多好处。此外，租赁面积和家庭农业生产率对承租人家庭农业收入的联合影响显著正向。对于出租人家庭，我们的结果表明，出租农田并没有提高他们的非农收入和总收入，因为它可能对农户的劳动力分配产生有限的影响。我们的研究结果表明，从事农田租赁活动可以提高农业生产率，提高农户的扶贫能力。在集体所有的农村土地制度下，迫切需要制定激励政策，鼓励高效的大型农场扩大农场规模，为小农提供平等的从事农田租赁活动的机会。
The rural land rental market is playing an increasingly important role in the agricultural transformation period for developing countries, including China, where rural farmland rental is highly context-specific with the implementation of the collective-owned rural land system; thus, in turn, the access to farmland rental markets for rural households has profoundly influenced their livelihood strategies and income earnings. This paper investigates the income impact differences caused by rural households’ farmland rental participation activities and explores such impact mechanisms by further evaluating the income impacts caused by rental area and household agricultural productivity. Data from the Chinese national household survey were used for estimating the empirical models. Our results show that farmland renting has positively affected households’ on-farm and total income, but there is no significant effect upon off-farm income. According to income differences across quantiles, we find households with high on-farm income are more sensitive about enlarging their farm size by renting farmland, and households with middle and upper-middle off-income may benefit more from renting out their farmland. Furthermore, the joint effects of renting area and household agricultural productivity on lessee households’ farm income is significantly positive. For lessor households, our results indicate that renting out farmland did not improve their off-farm and total income as it may have a limited effect on farm household labor distribution. Our findings suggest that engaging in farmland rental activity can enhance farming productivity efficiency and poverty alleviation among rural households. Under the collective-owned rural land system, it is urgent and necessary to initiate and design incentive policies to encourage highly efficient large farms to expand the farm size and provide smallholders with equal opportunities to engage in farmland rental activities.
