摘要：Using the county-level data in the newly-liberated areas, we investigate the effects of land reform in 1950s on the building of state capacity in China. We find that by confiscating landlords’ land and clans’ public land, as well as redistributing them to poor peasants, the reform increased the state’s fiscal capacity and improved the presence of the state’s agencies in the society. Furthermore, by increasing the fiscal capacity, the land reform promoted the industrialization when centralized economy prevailed, while it had no effect on industrialization during the economic decentralization. We also find that the land reform had a negative effect on the Famine.
