英文文献摘要：
We examine how the system of “federalism, Chinese style” functions in the context of land allocation. China’s land laws give provision of land a central role in local officials’ growth promotion strategies. Requisitions of farmland by local authorities have engendered significant rural unrest. In response, the central government has attempted to re-establish control over the pace of urban land expansion by enacting regulations limiting conversion of rural land to urban uses. We derive theoretically the conditions under which non-compliance with such regulations is optimal. An econometric investigation shows that legal restrictions on farmland conversion had no effect on rates of farmland loss but did limit urban spatial growth rates in some regions. Our econometric evidence suggests very limited enforcement of those legal limits on farmland conversion.

我们检视“中国风格的联邦制”制度如何在土地分配的背景下发挥作用。根据中国的土地法，在地方官员的促进增长战略中，土地的提供发挥了核心作用。地方政府征用耕地已造成农村严重的动荡。作为回应，中央政府试图通过颁布限制将农村土地转为城市用途的规定，重新控制城市土地扩张的速度。我们从理论上推导了不遵守这些规则的最优条件。计量经济学研究表明，法律对农地非农化的限制对某些地区的农地流失率没有影响，但限制了城市空间增长率。我们的计量经济学证据表明，对农田转用的法律限制执行得非常有限。
