  Discussion on Three New Solving Measures for Three Rural Problems of China 2011, 1 (10):  65-68.  Abstract + ( 1523 )   PDF ( 935KB )   ( 1494 ) In order to find better approaches and measures for solving ‘three rural problems’, the authors reviewed and summarized some of new experiences and ideas of agricultural development at abroad, incorporated with some of successful practices in China. According to this practices and theories at home and abroad, the authors argued that China’s governments might take three sorts of measures to put into practice as follows: agricultural industrial clusterization; rural property marketization; farmers’ new urbanization. Based on the three sorts of measures mentioned above, the authors introduced the applications and practices in Huaibei City of Anhui Province through spatial layout planning of Huaibei’s urban-rural harmony, which were the important measures to promote regional urban-rural harmony. While, it was worth noting that three sorts of measures to solving ‘three rural problems’, which concluded from methods of summing-up and deduction, should be verified and revised through more China’s rural reforms and practices.

  Empirical Analysis on the Effect of Agricultural Investment of Taiwan Businessmen to the Growth of the Agricultural Economy in Fujian 2011, 1 (10):  69-74.  Abstract + ( 1285 )   PDF ( 1242KB )   ( 1565 ) The aim was to study the effects of investment of Taiwan on the agricultural development of Fujian. With the panel data of 1991 to 2009 Fujian agricultural gross output value and the real investment of Taiwan businessmen in Fujian agriculture and so on, a quantitative analysis on the efficiency of using the agricultural investment of Taiwan businessmen in Fujian agriculture was done by using the co-integration test, error correction models and Granger causality test. It was certified by the research that there is a co-integration relationship in the long term equilibrium between the agricultural investment of Taiwan businessmen and the growth of Fujian agricultural economy. In the short term the agricultural investment of Taiwan businessmen could cause the change of Fujian agricultural gross output value in the same direction. Fujian agricultural gross output value would change at 0.674183% when the agricultural investment of Taiwan businessmen at 1%. When the short term fluctuation deviated from the long term equilibrium, non equilibrium state would be taken to the equilibrium state at the adjustment of -0.332285, which explains that there was a dynamic mode between the agricultural investment of Taiwan businessmen and the growth of Fujian agricultural economy. So the agricultural investment of Taiwan businessmen made a obvious improvement to the growth of Fujian agricultural economy, but the growth of Fujian agricultural economy didn’t affect the agricultural investment of Taiwan businessmen.
