Determinants of smallholder landownership: Evidence from south Sulawesi, Indonesia
基于印尼六个村庄的调查数据，分析小农土地持有量的差异，发现劳动力、教育水平和定居时间有部分解释力，并检验了财富对土地购买的影响。
This article analyses differences in landownership between smallholders using survey data from six villages in a land abundant region in Indonesia. Differences in landholdings are only partially explained by differences in labour availability. Land‐holdings are positively correlated with educational level, and early settlers have more land than late settlers. The hypothesis is put forward that early settlers are wealthier, and some empirical evidence is offered in support. Finally, the paper uses a conditional logit model of land purchases to test whether wealthier households are better able to purchase (additional) land. The results support this hypothesis.
