Chapter 4 in Agricultural Transition in China, 2018, pp 97-122 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Chapter 4 is an exercise in empirical analysis that investigates the rate and direction of flows of agricultural labour in China to illustrate the decisive role played by the market structure—shaped by different regional institutional factors—during agricultural transition and in terms of technological innovation between the areas of factor inflow and outflow. Meanwhile, through an examination of the characteristics of China’s inter-regional labour (factor) flows after 1979, this chapter also explains how different market structures influence the inter-sectoral and inter-regional factor reallocations, given constraints such as inadequate labour accumulation.
