Conference Paper: The Impact of China’s Demand on Agriculture in the United States
| Title | The Impact of China’s Demand on Agriculture in the United States |

| Abstract | We investigate the effect of rising Chinese demand for agriculture goods between 1997 and 2012 on U.S. local agricultural sectors, exploiting cross-county variation in exposure to Chinese demand due to differences in crop/product specialization. We find that, farmland value rises in counties that are more exposed to the rise in Chinese demand. Meanwhile, rising exports causes an increase in farmland concentration. The benefits are unequally distributed across farmers: the income of wealthy farm owners rises, but the income of poorer farm owners and typical farm labour stagnates. |
