The Influence Of Government Investment In Agriculture On Agricultural Productivity Of Chinese East

As the country’s a relatively dense population areas, the eastern region has only 9.5% of the country’s land area, but it has fed 37 percent of the country’s population. By the end of 2013, the total value of agricultural production in the eastern region reached 19,028 billion, accounting for 40% of the total value of agricultural production in our country. Thus it can be seen that the eastern region occupies a pivotal position in the national agricultural development. In the case of increasingly scarce land resources, how to improve the agricultural productivity and the level of output in the eastern regions has caused the wide attention of scholars and leaders. The author thinks that the development of agriculture depends on the funds. the development of agriculture needs government support. The government’s investment in agricultural is the important methods to improve agricultural production conditions and productivity, solve the problem of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers".The article using the Malmquist index based on DEA estimates the agricultural TFP index of 11 provinces in the east, then get the total value of TFP. On this basis, this paper takes the cumulative value of the agricultural TFP as the measure of agricultural productivity. And then, from the angle of investment scale makes the empirical analysis about the effect of government investment on the agricultural TFP with the time series model. The empirical result shows that the government investment in agriculture can promote the improvement of agricultural productivity, but its effect coefficient is smaller. Secondly, using the panel data model analyzes the effect of go vernment’s investment structure on the agricultural productivity. The results show that the utilities of agricultural investment projects have significant differences between regions. On the average, the elastic coefficient of comprehensive agricultural de velopment is the biggest, at around 0.17; followed by the supporting rural production. The effect of agricultural science and technology input is the minimum, which is less than 0.05.In conclusion, the effect of government’s investment in agriculture on agricultural productivity is significant, but the role of the government investment in agriculture has not been fully exert with the problems of government investment in agriculture. The research of this paper to find the deficiency existing in the governme nt agricultural investment, put forward the improvement measures and suggestions, improve efficiency of government agricultural investment, improve the agricultural productivity in the eastern region, and ensure the regional and national economic security has important practical significance.
