Abstract

The agricultural “replacing labor force with machinery” is the main content of agricultural mechanization development. In this paper, the empirical analysis of the substitution efficiency of agricultural mechanization development in Zhejiang Province on agricultural labor is conducted. The main conclusions obtained in this paper are: the elastic coefficient of the output of agricultural machinery is 4.1815, the elastic coefficient of agricultural labor force is -2.3049, and the semi-elasticity of the agricultural output value to the labor force is 0.0013, which indicates that in addition to the substitution effect of agricultural machinery on labor force, both of which are mutually complementary. Due to the decline in the quantity of agricultural labor force in Zhejiang, the increase amount in the labor force can be replaced by the agricultural machinery in agricultural mechanization development is relatively reduced. Therefore, the marginal output value of the agricultural labor force in Zhejiang has been increased.
