Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China has substantially boosted lending to farmers & agribus. in recent years. The balance of loans to farmers doubled between 2001 & 2005.

Book The Evolution of Agricultural Credit during China   s Republican Era  1912   1949

Download or read book The Evolution of Agricultural Credit during China s Republican Era 1912 1949 written by Hong Fu and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the modern era, China’s rural credit landscape is transforming at a dizzying rate, but, in terms of financial development, these changes represent a second attempt in the past 100 years to reform China’s credit institutions and provide credit access to farmers. The first period was during the Republican era, between 1912 and 1949, which saw the first attempts at formalizing rural credit with the Industrial and Agricultural Banks. This book uses primary data and papers to present a full picture of the difficult conditions China faced during the Republican era in order to explain the myriad reforms to the country's rural credit system. Fu and Turvey build a narrative around these developments based on the foundation of thousands of years of dynastic rule in order to explore the specific impacts of drought, floods, famine, communist insurgencies, Japanese expansionism, and more on credit access, supply and demand. They consider powerful personalities—such as J.B. Taylor, John Lossing Buck, Paul Hsu and Timothy Richards—and influential institutions—from Nanking and Nankai Universities to the China International Famine Relief Commission—that sought ways to end the cycle that trapped the vast majority of Chinese farmers in poverty. This rich, wide-ranging, and stimulating work will appeal both to readers focused on present day China and those who want to understand China’s rural economy and credit policies in a historical context.

Book Heterogeneous Choice in the Demand for Agriculture Credit in China

Download or read book Heterogeneous Choice in the Demand for Agriculture Credit in China written by Nan Meng and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The difficulty of financing agriculture in rural China has hindered the development of China's rural economy for a long time. The conflicts between the high risk and low profit of farmers has led to a significant imbalance between credit demand and supply. Therefore, understanding the characteristics and preference of credit demand for farmer households is an important problem to solve. In this study, we mainly focus on demand-side of credit in rural China and aims to understand attribute preferences and the willingness of farmers to pay for credit. In chapter one, we introduce the background of current issues in rural finance. Based on related theory of credit demand behavior in chapter two, we choose a discrete choice experiment as the tool to collect data from the field. With a D-optimal and efficient experimental design for the choice experiments, we ultimately calculate the willingness to pay (WTP) using a mixed Logit model. This is described in chapter three. In chapter four, implementation of experiments including identifying attributes and levels, creating the experiment design and designing a complimentary survey provided in detail. We introduce how we did two experiments in five provinces in rural China. After deciding to select interest rate, term of loan, type of loan, type of repayment, type of institution and mobile banking service as attributes, we collected 120 combination, 3600 observations and 300 surveys in first experiment, 81 combination, 3241 observations and 120 surveys in second experiment. Subsequently, in chapter five, the estimating results from conditional Logit and mixed Logit models are provided and discussed. Mixed Logit is highly flexible model that can approximate random utility model, which can be used to estimate the effect of the attributes on utility. Then the results from mixed Logit model are used to calculate WTP, which can measure the change in interest rate associated with a unit change in each attribute. In chapter six, we finally draw a conclusions concerning the nature, characteristics, and preferences for credit demand from previous five chapters. We found that amortization loans with longer term are preferred even though they are highly cost. Farmers are willing to pay more for guaranteed loan and credit loan. Willingness to pay for institutions vary from provinces to provinces, which may be explained by distinct financial environment. The conclusions can provide answer to some extent of questions that why the efficiency of credit demand is and how to ameliorate the severely mismatch of supply and demand of credit in rural China.

Book Growth and Evolution in China s Agricultural Support Policies

Download or read book Growth and Evolution in China s Agricultural Support Policies written by Fred Gale and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is perhaps the most prominent example of a developing country that has transitioned from taxing to supporting agriculture. In recent years, Chinese price supports and subsidies have risen at an accelerating pace after they were linked to rising production costs. Per-acre subsidy payments to grain producers now equal 7 to 15 percent of those producers' gross income, but grain payments appear to have little influence on production decisions. Chinese authorities began raising price supports annually to bolster incentives, and Chinese prices for major farm commodities are rising above world prices, helping to attract a surge of agricultural imports. U.S. agricultural exports to China tripled in value during the period when China's agricultural support was accelerating. Overall, China's expansion of support is loosely constrained by World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments, but the country's price-support programs could exceed WTO limits in coming years. Chinese officials promise to continue increasing domestic policy support for agriculture, but the mix of policies may evolve as the Chinese agricultural sector becomes more commercialized and faces competitive pressures.

Book Imports from China and Food Safety Issues

Download or read book Imports from China and Food Safety Issues written by Fred Gale and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The FDA¿s increased attention to food imports from China is an indicator of safety concerns as imported food becomes more common in the U.S. Addressing safety risks associated with these imports is difficult because of the vast array of products from China, China¿s weak enforcement of food safety standards, its heavy use of ag. chem., and environ. pollution. FDA refusals of food shipments from China suggest recurring problems with ¿filth,¿ unsafe additives, labeling, and vet. drug residues in fish and shellfish. Chinese authorities try to control food export safety by certifying exporters and the farms that supply them. However, monitoring such a wide range of products for the different hazards is a difficult challenge for Chinese and U.S. officials. Ill.

Book The Dragon and the Elephant

Download or read book The Dragon and the Elephant written by Ashok Gulati and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China and India are the most extraordinary economic success stories of the developing world. Both nations’ economies have grown dramatically over the past few decades, elevating them from two of the world’s poorest countries into projected economic superpowers. As a result, the numbers of Chinese and Indians living in poverty have rapidly fallen and per capita incomes in China and India have quadrupled and doubled, respectively. This book investigates the reasons for these staggering accomplishments and the lessons that can be applied both to other developing nations and to the problem of poverty that remains in these two countries. The contributors pay particular attention to agriculture and the rural economy, examining how initial conditions and investments and the prioritization and sequencing of different policies and strategies have led to successes, and how the agricultural and rural sectors connect to overall economic expansion. They also emphasize the importance of anti-poverty programs and safety nets in helping poor people escape poverty. The book offers a set of policy and strategic options for future growth and poverty reduction. These include setting the right priorities for public spending, identifying trade and market reforms, building social safety nets for the poorest of the poor, and building accountable institutions that can provide public goods and services effectively. The book concludes by examining future challenges to China and India’s economic development, such as the need to ensure growth that is sustainable, equitable, and environmentally friendly. The Dragon and the Elephant offers valuable insights to development specialists anxious to multiply the benefits experienced by two of the greatest economic successes in recent times.

Book How China Became Capitalist

Download or read book How China Became Capitalist written by R. Coase and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How China Became Capitalist details the extraordinary, and often unanticipated, journey that China has taken over the past thirty five years in transforming itself from a closed agrarian socialist economy to an indomitable economic force in the international arena. The authors revitalise the debate around the rise of the Chinese economy through the use of primary sources, persuasively arguing that the reforms implemented by the Chinese leaders did not represent a concerted attempt to create a capitalist economy, and that it was 'marginal revolutions' that introduced the market and entrepreneurship back to China. Lessons from the West were guided by the traditional Chinese principle of 'seeking truth from facts'. By turning to capitalism, China re-embraced her own cultural roots. How China Became Capitalist challenges received wisdom about the future of the Chinese economy, warning that while China has enormous potential for further growth, the future is clouded by the government's monopoly of ideas and power. Coase and Wang argue that the development of a market for ideas which has a long and revered tradition in China would be integral in bringing about the Chinese dream of social harmony.
