In 2013,the Party Central Committee first put forward the concept of "targeted poverty alleviation",which means that it must be precise in the six aspects of the target,the assignment of the village,the project arrangement,the effectiveness of poverty reduction,the use of funds,and the measures in place.To truly understand the"targeted poverty alleviation" work,we must first grasp the essence of the problem and achieve high-quality poverty alleviation with a low probability of returning to poverty.At present,in the context of shifting the contradiction of the people's main needs and pursuing the development of all factors into a trend,the criterion for judging poverty using income is relatively "narrow" and it is easy to ignore the problem of returning to poverty again.How to achieve both the symptoms and root causes in the process of poverty alleviation,reduce poverty vulnerability,and strengthen the ability of farmers to resist risks and resist shocks are real problems to be solved.Therefore,asset-based poverty alleviation began to enter the perspective of research and decision makers.Asset poverty is a deeper level of poverty,and poverty alleviation is more difficult.The accumulation of assets is not only related to the quality of daily life of farmers,but also closely related to the sustainable development of family members.Without solid assets as a basis,families will be difficult to withstand the impact of any risks,and returning to poverty will be inevitable.To explore how to reduce the poverty of rural household assets,it is necessary to combine the characteristics of the rural society,culture,economy,finance and organizational structure.As a carrier of interconnectedness between farmers,social relations play an important role in connecting food,clothing,housing,transportation,and other aspects.This is fully reflected in the rural areas.Families with rich connections usually have more ways to obtain assets in the village to carry out assets.investment.Informal finance has a unique financing advantage and broad basis in rural areas.Based on mutual trust and mutual assistance mechanisms,it reduces the asymmetry of information and transaction costs.Individual rural "prestige" controls lending risk to a certain extent,depending on geographical and blood ties 1.The informal finance of human relations has a high degree of agreement with social relations.So,do social relations help asset poverty reduction?Does informal finance play an intermediary role?This is what this article needs to explore and explain.At present,academic research on asset poverty is relatively extensive,but there are few multi-dimensional constructions on asset poverty indicators,and there are few explorations involving social relations affecting multidimensional asset poverty.This article mainly uses the 2018 National Family Tracking Survey Data(CFPS),and on the basis of fully considering the regional heterogeneity,explores the transmission mechanism of social relations affecting rural households' multidimensional asset poverty through informal financial intermediary channels.The ordered Probit model is selected as the main analysis model,combined with the Tobit model,the stepwise test regression coefficient method and the Sobel test method are used for the intermediary effect test,and the Bootstrap test method is used to stabilize the intermediary effect results.Empirical research shows that,based on the intermediary effects of informal finance,the impact of social relations on rural households'multidimensional asset poverty is regionally heterogeneous.Social relations can significantly improve the multidimensional asset poverty situation of farmers and can significantly reduce the probability of poverty in middle and high dimensional assets,but the above impact is not significant in the eastern region.In the demonstration of the Tobit model,social relations can significantly positively affect the scale of informal financial lending,but it is not obvious in the central region.In the intermediary effect test,the test results show that social relations can significantly negatively affect multidimensional asset poverty through informal finance,and only the western region is established in the subregional test.The robustness test results are basically consistent with the above test results.According to the previous article,the thesis puts forward a series of policy recommendations such as introducing "Xianxian" into farmers' mutual aid cooperatives,establishing a card for the poverty situation of farmers' assets in the western region,standardizing the informal lending system and linking it to credit reporting.
