abstract: 'As the largest scale payment for ecosystem services program in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
developing world, one of the key objectives of the Sloping Land
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conversion Program (the SLCP) is to increase rural households'' income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and to reallocate their employments. This paper estimates the effects of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the SLCP on rural households'' income and employment changes using the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unique panel dataset of 1001 rural households in six provinces from 1995
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to 2014. Following a strict parallel trend and other econometrics tests,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Propensity score matching-Difference-in-differences (PSM-DID)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
estimation technique was used. Based on the unique panel dataset, this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paper expands upon existing studies by estimating the effects of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mid-to-long-term and subsidy scheme adjustment of the SLCP on rural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households'' income and employment. Our empirical results indicate that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) the SLCP has no significant effect on rural households'' total income,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
while it has a negative effect on farm income. 2) The SLCP has a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
positive effect on forestry labor input. 3) Half reduction subsidy of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the SLCP has caused different effects on rural households'' income and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment compared with that before policy adjustment. 4) The income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects of the SLCP are indifferent by income, location, demographic or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
resource endowment sub groups. Policy decision-makers should pay more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attention to create more off-farm opportunities for rural households
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enrolled in the SLCP to maintain the achievements of the SLCP.'
