Research On Relationship Between Farmers’ Income Structure And Agricultural Land Investment

Based on the "Statistical Yearbook of Xianning City" (1992-2013), "Hubei Provincial Statistical Yearbook" (1992-2013) and "Tongcheng comprehensive economic statistics" (2001-2013) data, In this paper, we use gray correlation analysis method, analysis a relationship between family farming income households, business and other operating income, migrant labor income, transfer income and property income, other income and agricultural land use. Calculate the correlation between the factor and the reference factor, and in accordance with the size of the correlation descending sort, in order to determine the extent of the explanatory variables associated with the explanatory variables. And at the same VAR model more in-depth analysis, model building on the basis of data processing, then the stationary test, Granger causality test, co-integration test and other data sequence detection, and then build the model analysis, the results of the impulse response and variance decomposition results,the exact relationship between the various parts of the income of farmers and farm land investment is a positive correlation or negative correlation, and finally conduct a comprehensive analysis, Studies have shown that:(1) Among household income structure, the dominant income is farming family income and family business and other operating income and migrant labor income, property income and transfer income accounted for a smaller proportion of household income structure; (2) family farming business income is the most important factor affecting agricultural land investment, when this part of the income accounted for most of the household income, farmers will increase investment in agricultural land; If the share of income of rural households farming structure in the proportion of household income is less than 50 percent, farmers will reduce investments in agricultural land; (3) out of labor income accounted for the second most farmers’income structure, if out of the labor income is more than 50% of household income, farmers will be the transfer of rural labor force, reducing investment in agricultural land; (4) the family business and other operating income is the third most farmers’ income structure, farmers increased the family business and other operating income will reduce investment in agricultural land, and property income and other income is for the impact of investment in agricultural land to be a lesser extent. Therefore, to protect agricultural production, the maintenance of national food security, farmers must ensure that family farming is the main source of income of the household income, can be achieved by continuing to increase efforts to support Agriculture and other measures.
