This data, which was the foundation for John Lossing Buck’s seminal work Land Utilization in China (1937), was thought lost to history until rediscovered in 2000. The book presents the first modern analyses of agricultural economics in Republican China using Buck’s micro-data, covering important topics such as tenancy issues, land productivity, surplus labor, workers’ incomes, credit supply, and regional differences. Using modern analytical methods, this book presents a more accurate picture of the agricultural economy in the Republican Era and will be of particular interest to agricultural economists, economic historians, and Chinese studies scholars.Agricultural economicsEconomic historyAsia—Economic conditionsAgricultural Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000Economic Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000Asian Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45010Agricultural economics.Economic history.Asia—Economic conditions.Agricultural Economics.Economic History.Asian Economics.338.10951630.95109043Hu Haoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtZhong Funingedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTurvey Calum Gedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337678903321Chinese Agriculture in the 1930s2225548UNINA
