Based on the two-period micro data of 1803 rural households in five provinces from China Rural Development Survey, this paper uses the fixed-effect model at the level of farmers to analyze the impact of new rural endowment insurance on land transfer behavior of rural families. The results show that participation in new rural endowment insurance has positive effects on the total land transfer and outward land transfer behavior of rural family, but has no significant effect on the inward land transfer. The government should step up efforts to implement and improve the new rural endowment insurance policy, strengthen rural social old-age support system, promote the integration of rural land transfer policies and the new rural endowment insurance policies and strengthen the synergy of policies so as to improve old-age support for rural residents and to facilitate the land transfer of rural families.

Keywords: New Rural Social Endowment Insurance; Land Transfer of Rural Families; Fixed-effect Model
