Land Transfer, Entrepreneurship and Quality Entrepreneurship among Farmers

The effective utilization of land resources is an important reason that affects the quality and motivation of farmers’ entrepreneurship. With the data of the third round of China’s household finance survey, we used the endogenous transformation probit model to test the relationship between farmers’ land transfer and high-quality entrepreneurial activity choices, and explained the impact mechanism from the perspective of entrepreneurship. The research results show that: firstly, the transfer of agricultural land significantly promotes the opportunity based entrepreneurial activities of farmers and promotes the development of high-quality entrepreneurial activities in rural areas.Secondly, using the entropy weighted TOPSIS method to construct an entrepreneurial spirit index from the perspectives of social capital, risk preference, and entrepreneurial knowledge literacy, the land transfer promotes high-quality entrepreneurship among farmers by improving entrepreneurial spirit. Thirdly, the transfer of land has a greater entrepreneurial effect on the eastern region, areas with better levels of market-oriented development, and the new generation of farmers with higher levels of education. This study will provide theoretical and empirical basis for further promoting rural land transfer, high-quality entrepreneurship of farmers, and achieving the goals of agricultural and rural modernization development.
