摘要

集体环境行动对于建立可持续的废物管理系统至关重要,特别是在落后的农村社区,但它很容易陷入集体行动的困境。虽然以前的研究强调了农民合作社的作用,但缺乏具体的经验证据。为了填补这一研究空白,我们基于1820个农户的调查数据和1106个相应的合作社的登记数据,在中国农村人居环境改善行动的背景下,考察了农民合作社对粪肥回收、废物分类和废水处理等地方集体环境行动的影响。我们的研究结果表明,当地农民合作社规模每扩大1%,家庭参与粪肥回收、废物分类和废水处理的概率就会分别增加4.4%、5.6%和12.6%。农民合作社的建立不仅增强了机构信任,而且还缓解了地方财政紧张,从而促进了集体环境行动。此外,我们的异质性分析表明,农民合作社在促进地方集体行动方面的有效性将受到精英捕获(所有权高度集中的合作社)和壳合作社(没有实际农业综合经营的合作社)的影响。这些发现强调了政策制定者促进合作社发展以改善农村废物和资源管理的重要性。

Farmer cooperative fever and collective environmental action: Evidence from China's Rural Human Settlements Improvements
Collective environmental action is crucial for building sustainable waste management systems, especially in backward rural communities, but it is highly prone to the collective-action dilemma. While previous studies have emphasized the role of farmer cooperatives, concrete empirical evidences have been lacking. To fill this research gap based on the survey data from 1820 rural households and the registration data of 1106 corresponding cooperatives we examine the influence of farmer cooperatives on local collective environmental action such as manure recycling, waste sorting and wastewater treatment in the context of China's Rural Human Settlements Improvements Initiative. Our results show that a mere 1% expansion in the size of local farmer cooperatives will increase the probability of household participation in manure recycling, waste sorting, and wastewater treatment by 4.4%, 5.6%, and 12.6%, respectively. The establishment of farmer cooperatives not only enhance institutional trust but also eases local financial constraints, thereby facilitating collective environmental action. Moreover, our heterogeneity analysis shows that the effectiveness of farmer cooperatives in promoting local collective action will be compromised by the emergence of elite capture (cooperatives with great ownership concentration) and shell cooperatives (cooperatives without actual agribusiness). These findings underscore the importance for policymakers to foster the development of cooperatives to improve rural waste and resource management.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Cleaner Production is an international, transdisciplinary journal that addresses and discusses theoretical and practical Cleaner Production, Environmental, and Sustainability issues. It aims to help societies become more sustainable by focusing on the concept of 'Cleaner Production', which aims at preventing waste production and increasing efficiencies in energy, water, resources, and human capital use. The journal serves as a platform for corporations, governments, education institutions, regions, and societies to engage in discussions and research related to Cleaner Production, environmental, and sustainability practices.
