Abstract

Entrepreneurship is a critical way for rural residents to achieve high-quality employment and increase farmers’ income. Based on a sample of 12,771 rural households from China Family Panel Studies in 2018, this paper constructs a binary Logit model to explore the relationship between land transfer and farmers’ entrepreneurship. And then examine the mechanism effect of credit constraints and the heterogeneous role of risk preferences. This study draws the following conclusions: Firstly, the land transfer out can significantly affect farmers’ entrepreneurship, while land transfer in cannot. Secondly, the land transfer can promote farmers’ entrepreneurship by alleviating credit constraints. Third, land transfer promotes entrepreneurship among farmers with stronger risk preferences. With these findings, this paper puts forward some suggestions: develop a market for the transfer of rural land management rights, and increase the transfer ratio; encourage farmers to participate in land transfer actively; and expand financing channels to support entrepreneurship among agricultural labour.
