摘　　要：农业强国的核心在于提高农业全要素生产率。全要素生产率的提高既需要关注传统意义上的技术创新和技术进步,也需要关注资源配置效率的改善。优秀的传统宗族文化可以有效促进农村地区的分工和协作,提升农业生产中的资源配置效率。本文利用历史上的族谱数据,实证研究了传统宗族文化对现代农业全要素生产率增长率的影响。研究发现,地区族谱密度越高,农业全要素生产率增长率越高。对农业全要素生产率增长率的进一步分解显示,传统宗族文化提高农业全要素生产率增长率的方式,主要在于提升农业生产中的资源配置效率,而非促进农业的技术进步。以地级市与朱熹书院的最短距离为宗族文化的工具变量进行的两阶段最小二乘估计的结果表明,上述结论是稳健的。本文的研究启示是,传统宗族文化的凝聚力在现代农业生产中依然具有重要的经济功能。The core of building up China's agricultural strength lies in improving the total factor productivity(TFP)of agriculture.Enhancing TFP requires attention not only to traditional technological innovation and progress but also to the improvement of resource allocation efficiency.Traditional clan culture can effectively enhance labor division and cooperation in rural areas,and boost the efficiency of resource allocation in agricultural production.Using historical genealogical data,this study empirically studies the impact of traditional clan culture on the growth rate of TFP in moderm agriculture.The results show that the higher the genealogical density of the region,the higher the growth rate of agricultural TFP.Further decomposition of the growth rate of agricultural TFP shows that the pathway of traditional clan culture to improve the growth rate of agricultural TFP is mainly to improve the efficiency of resource allocation in agricultural production,rather than to promote the agricultural technological progress.Using the shortest distance between the prefecture-level city and Zhu Xi Academy as the instrumental variable of clan culture,the results of two-stage least squares estimation show that the above findings are robust.This paper highlights that the cohesion of traditional clan culture still plays an important economic role in modern agricultural production.
