Abstract

It is vital to evaluate the effects of China’s farmland certification programme on farmers’ economic welfare and clarify the impact mechanism. This paper uses the China Labour Dynamics Survey (2014, 2016),1 building endogenous switching regression and endogenous switching probit models to test the impact of the farmland certification programme on farmers’ net agricultural income and poverty status after correcting for endogeneity. A robustness analysis is conducted applying instrumental variable and propensity score matching methods. The results indicate that the farmland certification programme can significantly increase farmer households’ economic welfare, including an 83.10% improvement in agricultural net income and a 3.17% reduction in poverty. Farmland certification also prompts farmers to allocate more resources to agriculture and reduces poverty by increasing farmers’ agricultural income. This study presents a constructive evaluation of the performance of China’s farmland certification policy, providing a strong theoretical and empirical foundation and a useful policy reference for consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation and effectively linking rural revitalisation.

中国新一轮农地认证对农民的经济福利有何影响?

评估中国农地认证制度对农民经济福利的影响，厘清其影响机制具有重要意义。本文利用中国劳动力动态调查(2014、2016)1，构建内生转换回归和内生转换probit模型，在修正内生性后检验农地认证计划对农民农业净收入和贫困状况的影响。应用工具变量和倾向评分匹配方法进行稳健性分析。结果表明，农地认证项目能显著提高农户经济福利，农业净收入提高83.10%，贫困率降低3.17%。农地认证还促使农民将更多资源分配给农业，并通过增加农民的农业收入来减少贫困。本研究对中国农地认证政策的绩效进行了建设性评价，为巩固扶贫成果、有效衔接乡村振兴提供了强有力的理论和实证基础和有益的政策参考。
