Factors affecting industrial land use efficiency in China: analysis from government and land market Qian Wang1 · Yanan Wang1 · Wei Chen1   · Xue Zhou2 · Minjuan Zhao1 Received: 4 October 2019 / Accepted: 17 November 2020 © Springer Nature B.V. 2020

Abstract China’s economy has a typical characteristic that the government has a strong control of enormous productive resources, such as the land resources. Industrial land use is greatly influenced by institutional factors that refer to the market means and government control. But little empirical researches have focused on the performances of government incentives and land market in industrial land use efficiency (ILUE). Based on the geographically and temporally weighted regression model, this study reveals the spatial and temporal role of government incentives and land market on ILUE in China from 2007 to 2015. The results show that the ILUE has spatial and temporal differences in different cities, showing a significant increasing trend from 2007 to 2015. The land transfer fund, land added tax, and official promotion incentive have a negative impact on the ILUE of most cities in 2015. There are significant temporal and spatial variations in the effect of land marketization, land price, the proportion of stock land and the proportion of unused land on ILUE between cities. Finally, this paper provides some policy implications according to the results obtained.

1 Introduction The industry has played a vital role in social and economic development in China. Over the past 40 years, the industrial added value in China has increased by 54 times from around 51.78 billion in the late 1980s to 2799.97 billion in 2017. While the rapid development of industry depends on the reliable supply of industrial land (Chen et al. 2018a), the proportion of industrial land in the total land supply is 28.34% in 2016 (Zhou et al. 2019). Industrial land becomes the dominant form of land use, being the main driving force for the growing use of construction land. However, rapid industrialization relying on low-cost land supply and low industrial land use efficiency (Chen et al. 2018b). The idle land accounts for nearly 5% of land resources in the city, and about 40% of construction land is inefficiently used (Chen et  al. 2018a). Low industrial land use efficiency has caused many problems, including environmental stress and unrestrained land expansion; all of these issues indicate that inefficient land use should not be sustained (Berg et al. 2016; Chen et al. 2018a;
