Agricultural Endowment and Structural Transformation
(joint with Justin Yifu Lin and Haochen Zhang)时间：2022年9月21日(周三)11:30-13:00
参与方式：线上线下同时开展
地点：线下-承泽园245；线上，腾讯会议845-9894-4759主讲人：尤炜（北京大学新结构经济学研究院）参与老师：（国发院）李力行，席天扬，徐化愚，于航，王轩，易君健（光华）张晓波（经院）刘冲，吴群锋，曹光宇论文摘要：This paper shows that higher agricultural endowment per capita could impede structural transformation out of agriculture in the presence of "labor pull" forces in the non-agricultural sector. We first show that arable land area per capita is inversely related to structural transformation out of agriculture at the sub-national level using a sample of 34 countries. Then focusing on China and exploiting the trade liberalization shock in the 1990s and 2000s as an exogenous "labor pull" force in the non-agricultural sector, we show that Chinese prefectures with more abundant agricultural endowment experienced slower growth in employment shares in the non-agricultural and manufacturing sectors during 1990-2010. We provide causal empirical evidence based on the prefecture-, firm-, and individual-level data. The mechanism is consistent with rich agricultural endowment raising the opportunity costs of labor reallocation from agriculture to non-agriculture. This result contrasts with existing literature that emphasizes the growth of agricultural productivity as a driver of structural transformation.主讲人简介：Wei You is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of New Structural Economics, Peking University.
