Share Tenancy and Fixed Rent in Taiwan

Article Abstract:

Steven Cheung's research on share tenancy's link to agricultural inefficiency has been quite important, as it led to questioning over the rationale of Taiwans land reform program. Two major problems with Cheung's research and data are identified. The lack of empirical evidence as to share tenancy's position in Taiwan made accuracy difficult. His estimation of the land reform of 1949 is also faulty. Evidence of fixed rents in Taiwan is reviewed. Tables comparing types of tenancy in two of Taiwan's early stages are featured. Too much of the printed data on Chinese land tenancy relationships has been political propoganda for responsible research to occur.

Rent seeking and the development of large-scale agriculture in Kenya, South Africa, and Zimbabwe

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on rent seeking, large farm efficiency and agricultural productivity in Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The regions were chosen since they were characterized by unequal land distribution and faced resettlement problems. Results showed that rent seeking provided an explanation for dual farm size structures despite the lack of economies of scale. It was suggested that policies favoring large-scale producers be amended and a framework wherein small and large farms can compete on equal terms be established.
