Abstract:
This paper attempts to conduct a comparative analysis of the two typical farmland transfer models introduced by
Chongqing in its comprehensive coordinated reform experiment for balanced urban and rural development: i) the
“pooling of land as shares” in Qilin village, Changshou district; and ii) the “homestead/house swap, contracted land/
social security swap” in Jiulongpo district. It is estimated that the former model offers lower land appreciation benefits than the latter; the former faces greater operational risks, whereas the latter can to a certain extent mitigate risks by boosting regulatory control and reasonable government guidance. The homestead/house swap, contracted land/social security swap model is therefore the preferred choice. It can solve a series of social security problems that arise after peasants are divorced from land and enable peasants to garner higher land appreciation benefits through farmland transfer.
