“…Globalization promotes openness and liberalization, which also helps promote the level of marketization. The market mechanism highlights the importance of land as an asset, and facilitates land marketization [30]. With the emergence of the economic value of land, policies of payment for land use and strategies of intensive land use have developed gradually [31].…”

Rapid urban expansion may cause a decline in land-use efficiency and result in a series of social and ecological problems. Economic transition has significantly influenced urban land development, and provides a good perspective for analyzing changes in land-use efficiency. This paper primarily discusses the theoretical influence of economic transition on urban land-use efficiency. Using 126 cities in the Yangtze River Economic Zone as examples, we explore the spatial–temporal characteristics of changes in land-use efficiency, and estimate the relationship between land-use efficiency and economic transition with econometric models. The results show that the land-use efficiency of the Yangtze River Economic Zone has generally been improved over time, and presented significant clustering effects around urban agglomerations. Panel data analysis suggests that foreign direct investment in the globalization process and tax burdens, which were further aggravated by the reform of the responsibility and revenue assignment between local and central government, have had a significant negative effect on land-use efficiency. On the contrary, marketization, urbanization, and fiscal expenditure decentralization have exerted significant positive effects. We also found that agglomeration effects and location advantages did play a positive role in improving land-use efficiency, which accounted for the spatial inequality. This paper concludes with policy proposals to improve the intensification and economization level of urban land use.

“…Method of calculation The performance of the economy of the region [8] The performance of the regional economy = Gross regional product / The number of employed people Capital productivity of the region's economy [9] Regional economy performance = Gross regional product / Value of fixed assets Profitability of the region's economy [10] The profitability of the region's economy = Profit margin / Gross regional product The index of consumption [11,12,13] The Rating assessment of the level of economic development of the region in the context of tax susceptibility is in the range from 0 to 100%. The greater the value of the rating index, the higher the place of the subject of the Federation in the rating of tax susceptibility and the higher the value of its tax potential.…”

The article analyzes the existing hierarchy of tax administration within the state tax policy. The provision is formulated that the systemically organized structure functions smoothly if all its components are in interrelationship. This circumstance was also applied to the tax system, which works and develops at a high rate, when all business entities adopt a certain tax policy and work within the law. The efficiency of tax policy is achieved by balancing the functions of taxes and the interests of the state and the payers. An effective tax system can be built on the basis of following certain principles. If in relation to some of them it is possible to make an assessment on the basis of basic statistical or calculation indicators, then for others a similar procedure is not applied, due to the fact that the subjects of tax relations analyze these principles in different ways, subjectively treating the fairness of taxation.

“…Local government officials had to do everything they possibly could to integrate their economic and political resources in order to promote rapid economic growth in the region. Hence, promoting urban infrastructure construction and industrial development and growing local economies became the top priority of local governments [5]. However, the tax sharing reform in 1994 greatly reduced the fiscal revenue of local governments and a large amount of revenue was handed over to the central government.…”

Is There a Kuznets Curve Effect for China’s Land-Driven Development Mode?

This paper empirically investigates whether the contribution of land-driven development to economic growth has declined along with the Kuznets curve hypothesis by using a nonlinear dynamic model. Over the past 40 years, Chinese local governments have raised commercial–residential land prices, mortgaged reserve land to gain valuable funds to facilitate urban construction and then improve urbanization, and driven down industrial land prices to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and promote industrialization. By controlling the land market, this typical land-driven development mode has played a significant role in the process of local industrialization and urbanization. However, with the change in cities' internal and external conditions, many problems hidden in this mechanism have begun to emerge. The results from the dynamic panel data method reveal that, at the national level, the effect of land supply on local economies initially indicates an increase and then a drop, which is an inverted U-shaped curve, or the Kuznets curve effect. The impact of land-driven development has declined in China's economic transformation period, but at the regional level, in the eastern and mid-western regions, there is a different reason.
