Moving off the farm: Land institutions to facilitate structural transformation and agricultural productivity growth in China (2012, unknown): “Land transfers were often still administered by village leaders in discretionary ways (Kung & Liu, 1997), 4 creating conflicts of interest (Benjamin & Brandt, 2002) and failing to capitalize on opportunities to increase allocative efficiency created by rapid nonagricultural development.”
Efficiency of Land Allocation through Tenancy Markets: Evidence from China (2011, background): “In this country, individual land rights have been weak, and land is frequently reallocated among households in order to adjust changing population structures arising from the out-migration and other demographic shifts involving household members (Benjamin and Brandt 2002).”
Non-Farm Activity, Household Expenditure, and Poverty Reduction in Rural Vietnam: 2002–2008 (2014, background): “Further, farmers were granted the right to keep residual outputs after delivering a certain quota of produce to the state (Benjamin & Brandt, 2002; Fan, 1991).”
The potential of land rental markets in the process of economic development: Evidence from China (2005, background): “This is of relevance in particular because, despite a large international literature on the investment impact of higher levels of land tenure security, many studies on this subject in China find significant but quantitatively small effects (Li et al., 1998; Jacoby et al., 2002; Benjamin and Brandt, ”
Fact or artefact : the impact of measurement errors on the farm size - productivity relationship (2011, background): “…farm size and output per hectare in Indian agriculture, a large number of empirical studies have presented evidence that appears to corroborate that hypothesis (Barrett, 1996; Carter, 1984, Eswaran and Kotwal, 1985, 1986; Lau and Yotopoulos, 1971; Benjamin and Brandt, 2002; Berry and Cline, 1979).”
The impact of farm size on agricultural sustainability (2019, background): “136 Agricultural productivity as an indicator to measure the level of agricultural 137 development has been studied widely (Benjamin and Brandt, 2002; Barrett et al., 2010), 138 especially connected with farm size.”
Land Sales and Rental Markets in Transition: Evidence from Rural Vietnam (2003, unknown): “(Benjamin and Brandt, 2002).”
Land productivity and plot size : is measurement error driving the inverse relationship ? (2017, unknown): “Soil quality might explain the IR if smaller plots have on average more fertile soils than larger ones (Benjamin, 1995; Benjamin and Brandt, 2002; Bhalla and Roy, 1988; Chen, Huffman, & Rozelle, 2011), though in one of the few studies to use objective measures of soil quality data, Barrett et al.…”
Land Registration, Governance, and Development : Evidence and Implications for Policy (2009, background): “This reduces the level of transactions below the optimum and can lead to significant losses in allocative efficiency (Benjamin and Brandt 2002).”
Land and Urban Economic Growth in China (2011, unknown): “This literature has examined the effects of tenure security on investment in land quality, other agricultural improvements, and agricultural productivity generally (see for example Benjamin and Brandt, 2002; Jacoby et al., 2002; Deininger and Jin, 2003).”
Moving toward markets? Labor allocation in rural China (2003, background): “29 Note that Benjamin and Brandt (2002) similarly identify land availability and off-farm employment as variables that have a significant effect on the labor use of Chinese farm households.”
