Abstract

China has a unique land system that has undergone many reforms and typical forms. In this paper, we will study the impacts of the rural land system on rural-urban migration under market (the rent ratio of rural farming land) and government (land security) mechanisms. We will employ the Probit model with robustness and endogenous checks to identify the impact of each mechanism on migration. Results show that the rights of rent have a positive impact on migration, while land expropriation influences the decision negatively. The current reform on the land system, Three Rights Separation System, has shown a positive result in improving both land rights and security. The improvement brought by the reform will contribute to population mobility, further encourage resource allocation, promote a larger scale of urbanization, and eventually bloom China’s economy.
