中国农村的经济改革刺激了土地和土地市场的发展。这两个市场的重要性与日俱增，这表明它们可能是密切相关的，但缺乏适当的统计检验。本文考察了农户参与土地租赁和迁移的因素，并利用看似不相关的二元概率回归检验了农户参与土地租赁和迁移是否相互影响。使用2000年在赣东北三个村庄进行的家庭调查数据，估计了土地租赁和迁移方程。在两个方程中都使用了家庭特征、固定因素、家庭土地和劳动力禀赋、制度因素以及土地和土地价格作为解释变量。我们发现，土地租赁方程和迁移方程的误差项具有很强的相关性，证实了土地租赁与迁移之间存在负相关关系。
Economic reforms in rural China have stimulated the development of land and tabour markets. The increasing importance of these two markets suggests that they might be closely inter-related, but proper statistical tests are lacking. This papet examines the factors that determine the participation of farm households in land renting and migration, and investigates whether participation in land renting and migration influence each other, using a seemingly unrelated bivariate probit regression. Data from a household survey held in 2000 in three villages in the north-east ofthe Jiangxi Province were used to estimate the land renting and migration equations. Household characteristics, fixed factors, household land and labour endowments, institutional factors, and land and tabour prices were used as explanatory variables in both equations. We found that the error terms ofthe land renting equation and the migration equation were strongly correlated, confirming that there is a negative relationship between land renting and migration.
