Research On Performance Of State-owned Forest Tenure Reform

Since2006Yichun has been a pilot reform of state-owned forest tenure in China. Currently Yichun as a pilot reform of state-owned forest rights has completed the internal circulation of80,000hectares of forestland, achieved a significant breakthrough in state-owned forest property system, especially it has achieved certain results in solving the dilemma of worker’s living, increasing workers employment and forestry investment. State-owned forest tenure reform that has carried out six years is still in the pilot phase, the development trend of the future is not clear. In this background, System science researching and evaluating the performance of state-owned forest tenure reform, can not only provide valuable theoretical basis for the future development of state-owned forest tenure reform in Yichun, but also provide important experience summary in a broader significance for the perfect of state-owned forest right system.In this text the research object mainly on the reform of state-owned forest tenure in Yichun using property economic theory, transformation economic theory, public resources governance theory, asset management of state-owned resources theory, efficiency theory, stakeholder theory, sustainable development theory, and based on the operating data of Yichun state-owned forest farms and contractors from2003to2010, research the performance of state-owned forest tenure reform, through two levels of effectiveness and capabilities, three dimensions of the overall efficiency, sub-effect, sustainability and proposed improvement measures of state-owned forest tenure reform performance. The overall efficiency and the sub-effect analyze the realistic effect of state-owned forest tenure reform from the perspective of the overall dimensions and sub-dimensions, sustainability analyze the capacity of worker’s operating, institution building, external environment support and forecast the future performance of state-owned forest tenure reform.In the overall efficiency evaluation of state-owned forest tenure reform, with DEA and Malmquist from the perspective of production efficiency, evaluating the overall efficiency of state-owned forest tenure reform from the static and dynamic aspects. Comparison of the efficiency is more concentrated between the pilot forest farm and non-pilot forest farm. Then use the analysis results of the efficiency of state-owned forest tenure reform that used Tobit model to measure influencing factors. The research results show that state-owned forest tenure reform improved the production but it not the only way, just from the aspect of production there is still much room for improvement.After researching the overall efficiency of state-owned forest tenure reform, analyze and evaluate the realization degree of specific objectives from four aspects:the effects of the income distribution, the protective effect of forest resources, incentive effects, and social stability effects. To further illustrate the relationship between state-owned forests tenure reform and other effects, using difference-in-difference model analyze the specific impact of these four effects of state-owned forest tenure reform. The research results show that state-owned forest tenure reform has significant and sustained influence on diversifying operation income; The reform of state-owned forest rights has great positive impact to workers’ per-year income, employment rate, afforestation area and survival rate of afforestation, however, in the follow-up several years of reform, the significances of the impact has a weakening trend over time; the reform has not significant impact on forest volume and total output value.Based on analysis of realistic performances of Yichun state-owned forest tenure reform, considering the performance of state-owned forest tenure reform subject to the internal and external influence factors of property system design and arrangement, operation body behavior, operation scale and structure, economic development of state-owned forest, state-owned forest tenure construction status, attitude of the government, and the relevant supporting policies, by percentile assignment method to evaluate the operating capacity of contract workers, capacity of institutional building, support capacity of the external environment of state-owned forest tenure reform. Then build the gray Markov prediction model to predict the future performance of state-owned forest tenure reform. The results show that contract workers operating capacity is limited; the community can not provide system and the environment needed by the state-owned forest tenure reform. The performance of state-owned forest tenure reform has continued trends, but lacking capacity of sustainable development.Finally, to analysis results of the performance of state-owned forest tenure reform, based on overall efficiency, sub-effect, sustainability proposed to adjust the input-output relationship, seeking the improving way of technology, scale efficiency; further improment the forest right contact, clear the conversion relationship between the reform objectives, coordinate the main interests, play production enthusiasm of contract workers, cultivate the ability of business entities, promote joint, improve the performance of environment and institution’s support capacity and specific measures.
