ABSTRACT

Novel investment vehicles continue to dominate discussions of the financial entities driving the global land rush. However, less attention has been devoted to the mundane elements of such investment, primarily the corporate structure that undergirds it. Using US public records, our analysis reveals how absentee and complex corporate structures enable the financialization of farmland. While the latest farmland investment has the fresh face of the who, such as private equity funds, we conclude that the what of its corporate skeleton is older, calling for dialogue between studies of corporate organization, landownership, and financialization.

土地归谁：农地投资的法人组织

摘要

新型投资工具继续主导着推动全球土地热潮的金融实体的讨论。然而，很少有人关注这种投资的平凡元素，主要是支撑它的公司结构。利用美国的公共记录，我们的分析揭示了缺勤和复杂的公司结构是如何促成农田金融化的。虽然最新的农田投资具有 WHO 的新面孔，例如私募股权基金，但我们得出的结论是，其公司骨架的内容更为古老，需要在公司组织、土地所有权和金融化研究之间进行对话。
