1 China's Agriculture in the 1930s: An Overview -- 2 John Lossing Buck and Land Utilization in China -- 3 Calamities and Conflict Affecting Rural China 1929-1933 -- 4 The Discovery and Restoration of Buck's Original Data -- 5 Reliability of John Lossing Buck's Land Utilization Survey Data: A Preliminary Test of Grain Yields -- 6 Tenancy Issues in Northwest China During the Republican Era -- 7 Regional Differences in Surplus Agricultural Labor During China's Republican Era, Based on Buck's Rural Survey Data -- 8 Agricultural Poverty and Inequality in 1930s China: Estimates of Gini and Engel Coefficients from Buck's Data -- 9 An Analysis on the Inverse Relationship between Yield and Farm Size in Rural China in the 1930s -- 10 The Relationship Between Farm Size and Land Productivity in Early Twentieth-Century China -- 11 Farm Credit Demand and Supply in 1930s China -- 12 The Change in China's Cropland Utilization and Productivity Over Nearly a Century in China: A Comparison Study Based on Buck's Survey -- 13 A Comparison of Certain Changes in Chinese Agricultural Operations between Buck's Republican Era and Modern China -- 14 Concluding Thoughts.

This edited volume analyzes land utilization data from farm surveys taken in China between 1929 and 1933. 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.
