abstract: 'Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors (including
conservation payments) that influence household decisions to participate
in off-farm work and estimate the impact of participation on household
welfare under the auspices of the Grain for Green (GfG) program.
Design/methodology/approach The authors used survey data from 225 farm
households on the Loess Plateau and addressed the possible sample
selection and endogeneity problems by employing a jointly estimated
endogenous switching regression (ESR) model. Findings The findings of
this paper are as follows: off-farm participation is positively related
to households'' educational attainment and negatively related to their
land resource endowment and the presence of children; participation in
off-farm work exerts positive effects on household income and per capita
household income, but negative effects on farm productivity; and
conservation payments show no significant impact on off-farm
participation, no significant impact on any of the three household
welfare indicators for off-farm non-participant households, but a
significantly negative impact for off-farm participant households.
Originality/value This paper makes two contributions. First, the authors
address the selection bias and endogeneity problem of GfG participating
households by employing the ESR method and explicitly estimating the
treatment effects of off-farm participation on their household welfare.
Neglecting these problems leads to biased estimates and misleading
policy implications. Second, this analysis stresses the important role
of government in reducing market or institutional failure and other
barriers that impede farmers'' efficient allocation choices instead of
compensating households for conserving sloping land, shedding new light
on the most effective policy options to achieve the program''s goals.'
