Does land fragmentation affect farm performance? A case study from Brittany. Factor Markets Working Paper No. 40, April 2013 (2013, unknown): “In China, Nguyen et al. (1996), Wan and Cheng (2001) and Tan et al. (2010) investigated the effect of LF on the productivity of major crops, crop output of rural households, and technical efficiency of rice producers in the South-East of the country, respectively.”
Assessing the impacts of land fragmentation and plot size on yields and costs: A translog production model and cost function approach (2018, background): “Wan and Cheng (2001), in their study on corn, late rice, and wheat, noted drops in technical efficiency by 4%, 15%, and 17%, respectively, when the degree of land fragmentation increases by one unit.”
Income Inequality in Rural China: Regression-based Decomposition Using Household Data (2005, unknown): “However, the iterative GLS method outlined in Kmenta (1986) is found to work well with Chinese data (Wan and Cheng 2001).”
Geographically weighted regression bandwidth selection and spatial autocorrelation: an empirical example using Chinese agriculture data (2010, methodology): “The example in this note uses empirical data from China’s agricultural sector.”
Impact of land fragmentation on rice producers’ technical efficiency in South-East China (2010, methodology): “Wan and Cheng [3] explored the impact of land fragmentation and returns to scale in the Chinese farming sector, using the same rural household survey data set.”
Land fragmentation, cropland abandonment, and land market operation in Albania (2012, background): “Results are ambiguous, though: some find a negative impact (Wan and Cheng 2001), others a relationship that is insignificant (Tan et al. 2008, Wu et al. 2005), or that follows an inverted U-shape (Chen et al. 2009).”
The Economics of Land Fragmentation in the North of Vietnam (2007, background): “Wan and Cheng (2001) also found that there was a negative relationship between the number of plots and individual crop productivity in China.”
The costs and benefits of land fragmentation of rice farms in Japan (2010, unknown): “…by using the production function approach (Blarel et al. 1992; Fleisher and Liu 1992; Parikh and Shah 1994; Byiringiro and Reardon 1996; Nguyen et al. 1996; Wadud and White 2000; Wan and Cheng 2001; Hung et al. 2007; Rahman and Rahman 2009), their results do not fully reflect fragmentation costs.”
Farm Technology and Technical Efficiency: Evidence from Four Regions in China (2009, background): “Excessive labor may still exist in China’s agriculture, as well (Wan and Cheng 2001 and Fan, Zhang and Robinson 2003).”
