讲座摘要：

中国政府通过指定土地配额来控制每年农业土地可用于城市开发的数量。报告人利用2007-2016年期间150万宗的土地交易数据，研究了中国农业土地转换为城市发展的情况。研究发现，中国土地的错配情况正在增长，表现为大量土地被用于生产效率较低的城市。作者构建了城市层面的生产函数，并通过反事实的研究方法，来估计土地资源错配带来的福利损失，也估计了土地资源重新优化配置可能带来的福利增进。

The Chinese government has been using quotas to control the amount of farmland that can be converted for urban uses in different cities every year. Using a sample of more than 1.5 million land-lease transactions during 2007-2016, we document facts on land conversion for urban development in China. We present evidence that land conversion quotas have been increasingly misallocated across cities in that a growing share of land conversion is occurring in less productive cities. A city-level production function is estimated for counterfactual analysis. Based on estimated parameters, we assess the economic losses from misallocation of land across cities in China and calculate the potential gains from reallocating land quotas to regions or cities where urban land is more productive. We also discuss policy options to improve efficiency.
