An estimation of the extent of cropland abandonment in mountainous regions of China (2018, background): “regression model of CAPAL Previous work has revealed that agricultural labour productivity, measured by yield per labourer or income per labourer, is related to various inputs of labour, land, capital, and technology (Fan & Zhang, 2002; Hayami & Ruttan, 1971).”
Farm Technology and Technical Efficiency: Evidence from Four Regions in China (2009, methodology): “…studies have examined the roles of inputs in Chinese agricultural production using different methodologies (see, e.g., Chen and Huffman 2006, Fan and Zhang 2002, Tian and Wan 2000, Wu, Liu and Davis 2005, and Zhang and Fan 2001), many of them used aggregate datasets or data of the mid-1990s.”
Agricultural productivity, structural change, and economic growth in post-reform China (2013, unknown): “If we use that value in (21), TFP would be 7.”
Accounting for growth in global agriculture (2015, methodology): “For China I use sown crop area (National Bureau of Statistics of China) for cropland, given unreasonable discontinuities in the cropland series of both the FAO and Chinese government sources (Fan and Zhang, 2002).”
A Quantitative Analysis of China's Structural Transformation (2006, background): “Increase in public nonagricultural production – The public sector enters the right-hand side of Equation (4) through its effect on the intercept.”
The impact of urban expansion on agricultural land use intensity in China (2013, background): “Second, measures in value of production (e.g. total value of output and total production cost) at the county level are either not available or inconsistent (Fan and Zhang, 2002).”
Can China´s Growth be Sustained? A Productivity Perspective (2008, background): “Fan and Zhang (2002) found that the official data overstated the impact of rural reforms on both production and productivity, but both production and productivity still grew at respectable rates during the reform period (see also Xu, 1999).”
Is small beautiful? Farm size, productivity, and poverty in Asian agriculture (2003, background): “In contrast, the number of landed households (owning greater 0.01 acres) increased dramatically (from 48.8 million in 1953/54 to 103.3 million in 1991/92), showing that despite rapid population growth, most of the additional rural households have been able to acquire at least a small amount of land.”
The Shifting Patterns of Agricultural Production and Productivity Worldwide (2010, background): “Fan and Zhang (2002) estimated average annual Tornqvist-Theil TFP growth for Chinese agriculture at 2.6% during 1961-1997 with relatively slow growth until 1980, after which TFP rapidly accelerated.”
Efficiency and technology gap in China's agriculture: A regional meta-frontier analysis (2008, methodology): “Note that although the credibility of past GVAO statistics had been questioned in the past, the quality of recent Chinese statistics has been significantly improved and is believed to be satisfactory; see Fan and Zhang (2002) for an application of regional production study using GVAO statistics.”
Fifty Years of Regional Inequality in China: A Journey through Central Planning, Reform, and Openness (2005, unknown): “Meanwhile, central planning was loosened a little, boosting agricultural productivity (Fan and Zhang 2002).”
Is a slowdown in agricultural productivity growth contributing to the rise in commodity prices (2008, unknown): “Fan and Zhang (2002), also using the Tornqvist index method, estimated average annual TFP growth for Chinese agriculture at 2.6% during 1961–1997 with relatively slow growth until 1980 after which TFP rapidly accelerated.”
Assessing farmland protection policy in China (2008, background): “Total factor productivity has grown at consistently high rates over the past two decades, especially during periods of high investment in agricultural research and development (see for example Rozelle et al. 1997, Jin et al. 2002, Fan and Zhang 2002, Carter et al. 2003).”
