| 英文摘要 | The rapid of agricultural labor transfer has raised concerns about food security and agricultural sustainability. However, the relationship between agricultural labor transfer and cultivated land use efficiency remains poorly understood. This study analyzes data from 320 prefecture-level cities in China between 2000 and 2020 to examine how agricultural labor transfer affects cultivated land use efficiency. Using the Super-SBM model, kernel density estimation, and panel threshold analysis, we assess spatial and temporal patterns of cultivated land use efficiency across regions. Our findings reveal that while China's cultivated land use efficiency remains relatively low, it has shown recent improvement. Efficiency patterns display distinct spatial clustering, with high-efficiency regions are concentrated in the northeast and eastern parts of the country, while low-efficiency regions are primarily distributed in the northwest, southwest, and northern regions. The agricultural labor transfer generally improves cultivated land use efficiency, but this positive effect weakens substantially when the agricultural labor transfer rate exceeds 79.29%. This threshold effect varies by region: northeastern areas show the strongest response to labor transfer, followed by western regions, while central areas demonstrate the weakest effect. Eastern, northeastern, central, and mountainous regions exhibit a single threshold, whereas western and plains regions show two distinct thresholds. Additionally, the urbanization rate plays a negative moderating role between agricultural labor transfer and cultivated land use efficiency. Based on these findings, we recommend policies that include based on the threshold effect of agricultural labor transfer, implement phased and regionally targeted regulatory policies, coordinate the relationship between urbanization development and cultivated land, leveraging the positive driving force of urbanization in a manner tailored to local conditions. Such measures can help maintain agricultural productivity while accommodating China's ongoing urbanization. |
