Impacts of cooperative membership on rice productivity: Evidence from China

Bin Lin et al.

Summary: This study examines the impacts of cooperative membership on rice productivity in China, finding positive effects on rice TFP, TFP change, technical change, and technical efficiency change. The effects of cooperatives on rice productivity vary significantly across regions, farm scales, and mechanization levels.

Agricultural Productivity in Space: an Econometric Assessment Based on Farm-Level DataJEL codes

Edoardo Baldoni et al.

Summary: This study investigates the scale, scope, and nature of spatial dependence of agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) using farm-level survey data. TFP is measured using transitive index numbers and assessed within a dynamic spatial panel data model to separate production fundamentals from productivity spillovers. Results suggest significant occurrence of agricultural productivity spillovers over a limited spatial range in Italian farm-level data from 2008-2015 aggregated at the NUTS3 level.

How do non-farm employment and agricultural mechanization impact on large-scale farming? A spatial panel data analysis from Jiangsu Province, China

Fang Li et al.

Summary: The study highlights the close relationship between the rise of large-scale farming and local non-farm employment and agricultural mechanization levels, with significant spatial spillover effects. The expansion of local large-scale farming is positively associated with the ratio of non-farm employment and level of agricultural mechanization, influencing the increase of large-scale farms in neighboring counties.

Sources of production growth in Chinese agriculture:empirical evidence from penal data results 2001-2018

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: This article uses regional panel data of Chinese agriculture from 2001-2018 to analyze the fluctuation of total factor productivity growth and its decomposition terms. It focuses on the relationship among factor allocation efficiency, biased technical progress, and agricultural total factor productivity.

Spatial spillover effects of grain production efficiency in China: Measurement and scope

Qi-nan Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the efficiency of grain production in China using a spatial measurement model and Markov chain, revealing challenges such as insufficient driving force and limited growth space. The spatial spillover effect from neighboring provinces can lead to a convergence effect. Following the laws of club convergence, forming multiple overflow centers and reducing the spatial range of cold point areas is necessary for improving grain production efficiency.

The rapid rise of agricultural mechanization in Myanmar

Ben Belton et al.

Summary: Based on survey data, Myanmar experienced rapid agricultural mechanization during the period of political and economic reforms, largely due to the significant role of the outsourcing services market. The broad appeal of mechanization to farm households results from a series of incremental, complementary advantages, such as labor savings, increased operational speed and effectiveness.

Evaluating the spatial spillover effect of farmland use transition on grain production - An empirical study in Hubei Province, China

Yifeng Tang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the spatial spillover effects of farmland use transition on grain production in Hubei Province from 2005 to 2017. It finds a positive spatial spillover effect at the county level, with variations in topographical areas. Plain areas are mainly influenced by factors like farmland quantity and machinery, while hilly-mountainous areas are affected by labor input. The study suggests promoting coordinated development of regional farmland use and grain production for food security.

Threshold effect or spatial spillover? The impact of agricultural mechanization on grain production

Zhihao Wu et al.

Summary: The study found that agricultural mechanization level has a threshold effect on grain yield, and there is a significant spatial spillover effect between regions. This means that improving mechanization level not only benefits the local grain yield, but also significantly promotes production growth in surrounding areas.

Farmers' Exit from Land Operation in Rural China: Does the Price of Agricultural Mechanization Services Matter?

Tongwei Qiu et al.

Summary: The increasing price of agricultural mechanization services leads to farmers leaving land operation, especially when considering the high sunk costs and long-term breakeven period of self-owned machinery. The surge in service prices also reduces land renting-in and encourages non-grain production.

Do small farms prefer agricultural mechanization services? Evidence from wheat production in China

Tongwei Qiu et al.

Summary: The study shows an inverted U-shaped relationship between farm size and the adoption of agricultural mechanization services. Small farms tend to input more family labor, while large farms are more likely to invest in self-owned machinery assets. The results imply that the development of agricultural mechanization services may not necessarily attract smallholder farmers, who may not be the major participants in the future market of social services in agriculture.
