“…Currently, China's land system is divided into state-owned land and village, or collectively owned land (Chan, 1999;Fu and Davis, 1998;Hu, 1997;Jingyao and Lai, 2018;Tong et al, 2018;Wu and Frazier, 2019;Zhang, 1991). The state-owned land enters the primary market via a bidding, auction and listing mechanism; whilst the collective-owned land cannot directly be used for market transaction and pledge.…”

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to investigate compensation and related welfare issues in the case of the expropriation of land for urban redevelopment in China. Design/methodology/approach A mixed methods quantitative and qualitative approach was selected to undertake the research. This involved a wide ranging qualitative review of the academic and policy literature to explore the relevant arguments and issues, combined with a quantitative regression analysis of survey data collected from research subjects. Findings The research identified the complex and changeable phenomena of urban village redevelopment in China, and the variable compensation arrangements used. The research found that monthly family income before land expropriation, monthly family expense before expropriation, the location of the housing expropriation and family unit size are important determinants for the property holders chosen methods of compensation. It also found that an increase in family size leads to a decreasing probability that the expropriated farmers choose the single monetary compensation relative to the alternative option of housing compensation. The degree of satisfaction with compensation, changes in monthly family income and expense are found to be significant determinants for changes in life satisfaction. Research limitations/implications The research made the following four recommendations based upon the qualitative and quantitative analysis: that local governments should pay closer governance/ political attention to changes in the welfare of the farmers/ villagers whose property has been expropriated; that central and local government should aim to improve the compensation system for rural land and property expropriation, to make the compensation policy be perceived as fairer and more reasonable by citizens; that a broad National standard of compensation be used within a pragmatic locally focussed regime; that the Chinese Central, Provincial and Local governments can devise improved policy tools and make more effective policy interventions by learning from the experiences (both successes and failures) of other countries approaches to this topic. It also suggested that further research be undertaken investigating the multitude of local level policy experiments, as a way of developing better National compensation standards based upon those compensation standards that appear to be working – and have citizen support – at the local level. Originality/value The literature review identified recent developments in Chinese urban studies and originally synthesised both recent and longstanding work on the issue of urban villages in China. The research also suggested changes to the National and Local legal and policy framework for compensation cases in urban redevelopment expropriation scenarios.

National Industrial Relocation Demonstration Zones (NIRDZs) are essential platforms for promoting regional economic restructuring and optimising inter-regional economic relations. Based on panel data of 287 prefecture-level cities in China and over 200,000 industrial land transactions from 2007–2019, this study conducts an empirical test using multi-temporal DID, propensity score matching, and instrumental variable methods to examine the relationship between NIRDZs and the marketisation of industrial land elements. The results show that the establishment of NIRDZs has a significant inhibitory effect on the market allocation of industrial land elements, and the conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. Further exploration reveals that the inhibiting effect of NIRDZs on the marketization of industrial land factors is the result of the combined effect of the takeover effect and activation effect of policies. The takeover effect of “promising government” has “low-end industry lock”, which inhibits the development of factor marketisation; the activation effect can stimulate the inner life of “effective market”, which can promote the marketisation of factors market-oriented allocation. The activation effect is to promote the market-based allocation of urban industrial land by activating three aspects: the level of market environment, the level of market operation, and the level of market access in the pilot cities. The analysis of the regulation effect shows that there is a vertical financial asymmetry and a vertical fiscal asymmetry in the inhibiting effect of NIRDZs on the market-oriented allocation of industrial land. Different levels of urban economic development also bring about different policy effects. This study broadens the understanding of heterogeneous development thinking and market-based management structures for industrial land elements in NIRDZs.
