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. 606 $aAgricultural economics 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aAsia?Economic conditions 606 $aAgricultural Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aAsian Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45010 615 0$aAgricultural economics. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aAsia?Economic conditions. 615 14$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aAsian Economics. 676 $a338.10951 676 $a630.95109043 702 $aHu$b Hao$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aZhong$b Funing$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTurvey$b Calum G$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337678903321 996 $aChinese Agriculture in the 1930s$92225548 997 $aUNINA
