The Research On The Influence Of Collective Forestland Tenure Reform On Farmers’forestry Income And Gap In Hunan Province

At present,slow growth of rural residents’ income and unequal distribution of income have become important factors affecting national economic development and social stability.In order to solve the problem of farmers’ income,it is urgent to fully exploit the resources of rural areas.For Hunan Province,forest resources are the most abundant natural resources with relative endowment.In order to fully exploit and utilize forest resources,turn resources into assets and mountains into gold hills,Hunan Province carried out a new round of reform of collective forest tenure reform in 2008,and then implemented a series of supporting reform policies,with the ultimate goal of realizing scientific utilization of resources,ecological environment security,continuous improvement of farmers’ income level,and harmony and stability of forest area.Up to now,what is the effect of collective forest right system reform?Does the theoretical expectation have an important impact on farmers’ forestry income?It is vital to explore this set of issues.The overall framework of this paper is as follows:First,centering on the topic of this paper,relevant literature is reviewed,core concepts are defined,and corresponding theoretical mechanisms and research hypotheses are proposed.Secondly,descriptive analysis is made on the characteristics of the study area and samples.Thirdly,based on the peasant household monitoring data of collective forest tenure reform in Hunan Province in 2012,2014,2016 and 2018,the paper analyzes the effect of collective forest tenure reform on the forestry income of peasant households in Hunan Province through two-way fixed effect model and panel quantile regression.And the effect of collective forest tenure reform on the forestry income gap of farmers in Hunan Province was analyzed empirically through the fractional difference test.Finally,according to the empirical results,the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are put forward.The results showed that:(1)the overall forestry income of farmers showed a downward trend,and the proportion was the lowest.(2)Diversified sources of farmers’forestry income.(3)There is a large gap between farmers’ forestry income.(4)The reform of the main body of the collective forest tenure system has significantly improved the forestry income of farmers,but it will also widen the gap of forestry income.(5)In the collective forest right system supporting reform,the forest insurance and forestry cooperative organizations will not only promote the increase of farmers’ forestry income,but also widen the gap of forestry income.The forestry subsidy will reduce the forestry income gap between farmers while increasing their forestry income.Based on the research conclusion,this paper puts forward the following suggestions:(1)Further consolidate the reform of the main body of the collective forest tenure system.(2)Strengthen support for collective forestry development support policies.(3)Further improve the construction of forestry cooperative organizations.(4)Further strengthen forestry science and technology services.
