The Impact of China's Economic Reforms on Agricultural Productivity Growth
评估了1978年后中国农业生产力增长中价格上升与责任制带来的个人激励强化的相对重要性，发现超过四分之三的增长源于报酬体系变化，其余来自价格上升。
This paper presents a method for assessing the relative importance of price increases and strengthened individual incentives due to the introduction of the responsibility system for the post-1978 increase in China's agricultural productivity. Data on post-1978 Chinese agricultural performance suggest that a little over three-quarters of the measured productivity increase is due to payment system changes and the remainder to price increases. The authors also use their method to calculate incentive indices, giving an estimate of the fraction of their marginal product that peasants received under the pre-1978 regime.
