Dr. Yanjie Zhang from the Leibniz-Institute of Agricultural Development in Central and Eastern Europe (IAMO), Germany has visited Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy (CCAP), Chinese Academy of Sciences from June 14 to June 25, 2012. Dr. Zhang’s research area include agricultural productivity and efficiency analysis, rural land rights and its impact on agricultural production and farm income.Dr. Zhang was welcomed to deliver a presentation to the faculty and students entitled “The impact of land security and input allocation on farm household income”. In this study, the normalized quadratic profit function is used to analyze profit maximization problems in farm households in the Zhejiang and Hubei provinces of China from 1995 to 2002. Additional variables have been introduced to capture the effects of a series of institutional environment and factor market constraints, including land insecurity, crop cultivation structure, labor input and capital input allocations between agricultural and non-agricultural productions. His research results indicate that, although the official controls on rural labor mobility have been relaxed, the rural labor market has not yet reached the optimal level, and a less-than-optimal level of labor input is devoted to non-agriclutural activities for farm households.
