The Stolypin reform and agricultural productivity in late imperial Russia
研究了1906年斯托雷平改革中土地产权变更对帝俄农业生产力的影响，发现土地合并使农民能独立决策并采用新技术，而土地所有权短期降低了土地生产力，但改革总体效果为正。
Abstract We study the effect of changes in land tenure, launched by the 1906 Stolypin reform, on agricultural productivity in Imperial Russia. The reform allowed peasants to obtain individual land titles and consolidate separated land strips into a single privatized allotment. We present evidence that land consolidations enabled peasants to make independent production decisions from the village commune and take advantage of readily accessible technological advancements. In contrast, land titles decreased land productivity in the short-run, but the overall effect of the reform on land productivity was still positive.
