Influence of farmland confirmation on farmland abandonment in China.

ABSTRACT: The general view is that land ownership affirmation provides incentives for farmers to internalize external benefits, optimizes farmers' allocation of agricultural production factors, and then reduces farmers' farmland wastage behavior.

Results show that residual control rights guarantee the farmers' exclusive right to use the farmland independently, and residual claim stimulates the farmers to pursue the goal of agricultural production surplus value. However, the residual claim rights are related to the constraint conditions of agricultural production; thus, the farmland right confirmation is situational dependent on farmers' farmland wastage behavio
