Abstract:
Based on the micro data of 1047 households in Jinzhai County, Anhui Province and Qionglai City, Sichuan Province, this paper uses Probit model, Iv-probit model, intermediary effect model and cross section threshold model to empirically analyze the influence, action path, heterogeneity and threshold effect of human capital on farmers’ homestead quitting behavior. The result shows that human capital has a significant positive impact on farmers’ behavior of quitting rural residential land, and the conclusion is still valid after using the method of instrumental variables to eliminate the endogenous problem. The mechanism analysis based on the mediation effect model indicates that human capital can promote farmers to quit rural residential land through ways of increasing farmers’ income, enhancing farmers’ awareness of safeguarding their rights and improving their cognition levels of homestead withdrawal policy. And the influence of human capital on homestead withdrawal behavior of farmers in different locations is different. First of all, it has the strongest positive influence on the withdrawal behavior of farmers in the suburbs, followed by the outer suburbs, and the weakest influence on the remote villages. The analysis of cross-sectional threshold model shows that the influence of human capital on farmers’ homestead withdrawal behavior has dynamic transformation characteristics under different levels of human capital accumulation. After human capital crosses the threshold (In this paper, it is 0.258), its impact on homestead withdrawal is enhanced. Based on the above research conclusions, this paper puts forward some suggestions, such as increasing rural human capital investment, paying attention to rural human capital accumulation, adopting diversified and multi-combination homestead exit policy and so on.
