Abstract: Provincial crop production, acreage and price data for 1979-88 are used to estimate China's provincial wheat production functions. Peasants in China still have very limited power in allocating land in response to prices. Within this constraint, crop prices do provide mechanism to allocate variable inputs,.thus, affect yield and production. The paper estimates the impacts on provincial wheat production of trade liberalization.
