Abstract

The effects of land transfer on agricultural carbon emissions and their underlying mechanisms must be investigated if we are to achieve sustainable development and environmentally friendly high-quality agricultural development. This research experimentally investigated the spatial impacts of land transfer on agricultural carbon emissions and their underlying causes using multiple econometric models based on provincial panel data covering the years 2010 to 2022. The results allow us to draw the following conclusions: (1) Land transfer significantly inhibits agricultural carbon emissions. This conclusion remained valid after various robustness checks, including a reduction in sample size, change model type, and adjustment of geographical regions. (2) Agricultural socialized services play a positive moderating role in the process of land transfer to curb agricultural carbon emissions. (3) Land transfer has a substantial spillover effect on agricultural carbon emissions, resulting in significantly reduced emissions in the immediate area and nearby regions.
