 The main objective of this study is to improve the understanding of factors determining the participation of farm households in rural land and off-farm labour markets, and of the consequences of rural land and off-farm labour market participation for agricultural productivity and efficiency in rural China. In particular, it analyses the inter-relationship of household land and labour market participation, investigates the determinants of household joint land and labour market participation, examines regime-specific allocative efficiency of household decision making for households classified according to land and labour market participation regimes, and analyses the effects of land rental market participation, and off-farm employment on agricultural production. A farm household model approach is applied using data collected from 329 rural households in three villages of Northeast Jiangxi province to address these issues.
