Abstract
First phase of the grain for green (GFG) policy, one of the China’s forest policies, was implemented in the late 1990s and ended in 2012. The first phase of the GFG policy was successful from a macro perspective, although there were some failures. Based on these outcomes, the second phase of the GFG policy was implemented from 2014 to 2020. This study used panel data to develop an empirical land use model and conduct a comparative static analysis focusing on the GFG policy. Results of the static analysis confirmed factors that affect GFG for the years 2002–2018. In addition, differences in the explanatory variables between the first (2002–2012) and second periods (2014–2018) were determined. Furthermore, differences in GFG subsidies between the northern and southern provinces in the first phase were analyzed for their effects on a reforestation area. The main results revealed that the amount of investment in GFG and rural livelihood security had a positive effect on the expansion of the area of GFG. In addition, the amount of investment in GFG was more effective during the second period than the first period.
期刊介绍：
The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science expands the frontiers of regional science through the diffusion of intrinsically developed and advanced modern, regional science methodologies throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Articles published in the journal foster progress and development of regional science through the promotion of comprehensive and interdisciplinary academic studies in relationship to research in regional science across the globe. The journal’s scope includes articles dedicated to theoretical economics, positive economics including econometrics and statistical analysis and input–output analysis, CGE, Simulation, applied economics including international economics, regional economics, industrial organization, analysis of governance and institutional issues, law and economics, migration and labor markets, spatial economics, land economics, urban economics, agricultural economics, environmental economics, behavioral economics and spatial analysis with GIS/RS data education economics, sociology including urban sociology, rural sociology, environmental sociology and educational sociology, as well as traffic engineering. The journal provides a unique platform for its research community to further develop, analyze, and resolve urgent regional and urban issues in Asia, and to further refine established research around the world in this multidisciplinary field. The journal invites original articles, proposals, and book reviews.The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science is a new English-language journal that spun out of Chiikigakukenkyuu, which has a 45-year history of publishing the best Japanese research in regional science in the Japanese language and, more recently and more frequently, in English. The development of regional science as an international discipline has necessitated the need for a new publication in English. The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science is a publishing vehicle for English-language contributions to the field in Japan, across the complete Asia-Pacific arena, and beyond.Content published in this journal is peer reviewed (Double Blind).
