Abstract:Based on the survey data of 25 provinces in China,this paper explores the mechanism of property security and property rights cognition on the inconsistent of land transfer intention and behavior by using Probit model and Tobit model. The empirical results show that there are conditions for the transformation of land transfer intention to behavior. When the stability of land rights is high,the farmers’ land transfer intention can be readily transformed into behavior,otherwise it can’t. Farmland right confirmation clarifies the land property rights of farmers,so as to encourage the transformation from farmers‘ intention of transferring into behavior and hinder the transformation from farmers’ intention of transferring out to behavior. At the same time,village level transfer control based on farmers’ self evaluation also has the same effect as farmland right confirmation. Therefore,on the basis of maintaining the stability of land property rights,the market of land management rights should be standardized. Beyond that,in order to create favorable conditions for farmers to participate in the land circulation market,the advantages of village committee organizing land circulation should be given full play.
