Productivity, Net Returns, and Efficiency: Land and Market Reform in Vietnamese Rice Production
研究了越南1985-2006年土地和市场改革对水稻生产的影响,发现总要素生产率和净收益显著增长,但近期出现放缓,并指出土地产权模糊、市场不完善等制约因素。
Extensive land and market reform in Vietnam has resulted in dramatic increases in rice output and incomes. This is illustrated with measures of total factor productivity, net incomes, and net returns in rice production from 1985 to 2006. Results show considerable gains in major rice growing areas, but recent evidence of a productivity slowdown. The differences over time and region speak to existing land use practice, calling for further reform. Estimations detail the effects of remaining institutional and policy constraints, including existing restrictions on land use, ambiguous property rights, and inadequate markets for land and access to extension services and credit. <i></i>
