研究目的：分析现行的禁止农村宅基地流转制度对农村宅基地利用效率与公平性的制度绩效。研究方法：文献资料法、对比分析法。研究结果：禁止农村宅基地流转的制度导致了农村宅基地超标利用、居民点布局分散和村容村貌差，存在严重的宅基地利用效率损失；同时在城乡居民市场主体地位、城乡土地产权地位、农民土地权益等方面也存在严重的不公平性。研究结论：基于对农村宅基地流转公平与效率的改进出发，取消限制农村宅基地流转的相关规定，允许农村宅基地入市交易，并严格管理农村宅基地。

英文摘要：

The purpose of the paper is to study the performance of the existing rural residential land institutions on land use efficiency and equality. Methods of documentation, comparison and logical reasoning were employed. The results show that the institution to restrict rural residential land circulation has led to excessive residential land occupancy, scattered residential spots and bad rural environment, which suggests very low efficiency of residential land use. Also the policy has produced severe inequality on subject rights of urban and rural residents, land property rights and beneficial rights of farmers. It is concluded that restrictions on rural residential land circulation should be released, and rural residential land should be allowed to enter into market for transaction under strict and complete regulations.
