abstract

in this paper, according to whether the location of the two sides of agricultural land circulation is adjacent, the farmers' circulation behavior is divided into discrete flow and continuous circulation, and examines the impact of the new round of agricultural land right confirmation on the scale management effect of agricultural land circulation. The study found that the right of agricultural land by reducing the destruction of agricultural land boundary behavior and agricultural production contradictions, reduce the transaction cost of adjacent land circulation, significantly promote the land circulation, and then promote the continuous scale management of agricultural land. Not only that, compared with discrete flow transfer, the written contract of continuous circulation has a higher probability of signing, less zero rent and longer term, which helps to promote the contract of agricultural land property rights transaction. The article emphasizes that in view of the time lag of the continuous circulation effect, we should adhere to and deepen the new round of reform of agricultural land ownership, so as to further alleviate the conflict between "the definition of land ownership" and "large-scale utilization of agricultural land.
