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.'
