中文摘要:

      农产品流通市场分割阻碍了农产品区域间的顺畅流动,导致农业资源错配和效率损失,不利于农产品价格稳定和农民收入持续增长。利用中国2003—2016年的省际面板数据,实证检验了交通基础设施和流通组织规模对农产品流通市场分割的影响。研究发现:(1)国内农产品流通市场分割并未明显表现出收敛的趋势。(2)公路和流通组织规模均对农产品流通市场分割具有显著的负向影响。(3)作为“主动脉”的高速公路和作为“毛细血管”的农村公路,实际上均有利于促进农产品流通市场整合,但高收费就像“主动脉”里的“梗塞”,削弱了高速公路对农产品流通的促进作用。据此,加强包括农村公路和高速公路在内的公路建设,施行“普惠制”农产品高速通行费用减免政策,支持流通企业做大做强,是提升农产品流通效率和促进农产品市场一体化的关键。

英文摘要:

      The market segmentation of agricultural products circulation hinders the smooth flow of agricultural products among regions, resulting in mistaken allocation of agricultural resources and loss of efficiency, which is not conducive to the price stability of agricultural products and the sustained growth of farmers' income. Using the provincial panel data of China during the years from 2003 to 2016, this paper empirically examines the impact of transportation infrastructure and the scale of circulation organizations on the segmentation of agricultural products circulation market. The research shows that:(1) the market segmentation of domestic agricultural products circulation has not shown a convergence trend; (2) both the highway and the scale of circulation organization have a significant negative impact on the market segmentation of agricultural products circulation; and (3) unlike previous studies that have shown that expressways hinder the circulation of agricultural products, expressways as “aortas” and rural road as “capillaries” are actually conducive to promoting the market integration of agricultural products circulation, but high tolls like “infarction” in the “aorta” weaken the role of expressways in promoting circulation of agricultural products. Accordingly, strengthening highway construction including rural road and expressway, implementing the policy of “GSP” for reducing and exempting the expressway toll of agricultural products, and supporting circulation enterprises to become bigger and stronger are the key to improving the circulation efficiency of agricultural products and promoting the integration of agricultural products market. 
