题目:Land Tenure Legacy, Constraints on Executives and Economic Development: Evidence from China

摘要:This study examines the long-run impacts of land tenure structure which lasted for over a thousand years in in history, on the economic development across prefectures in China. Results indicate that prefectures with more concentrated land ownership in pre-modern China experience stronger development measured by per capita farm wage in 1930s, per capita GDP in 2000s and the share of FDI and the private sector in the economy in 2000s.  Using data from 14th to 19th centuries to explore the mechanisms through which the land tenure influences persist, we show that land tenure in history affects economic development mainly through the constraints on executives imposed by the grassroots society led by the landed gentry. Grassroots societies in prefectures with more concentrated land ownership are more likely to resist against the state exploitation than prefectures with less concentrated land ownership in both pre-modern and contemporary China. We evident that the constraints on executives survive the socialist regime through the influences of lineage system, which is embedded in the daily life of the Chinese societies with gentry-landlord as the core.
