Farm Household Behavior, Factor Markets, and the Distributive Consequences of Commercialization in Early Twentieth-Century China
基于农户调查数据，研究发现二十世纪初中国不同规模农户在决策和经济效率上无显著差异，归因于高效竞争的市场帮助家庭抵消资源禀赋不平衡，暗示商业化收益可能比以往认为的更均匀分配。
Unlike the case of many low-income countries, farm-level survey data show no major differences across farm sizes with regard to decision-making and economic efficiency. This similarity is attributed to the operation of efficient and competitive markets which households used effectively to offset imbalances in resource endowment. If this holds true from the 1880s to the 1930s, perhaps the benefits of commercialization were more evenly distributed than previously believed.
