摘要:

目的: 探讨首轮退耕补贴到期对农户内部收入不平等的影响,能够为完善后续退耕还林政策以及促进共同富裕提供决策参考。方法: 基于2019年和2021年河北、四川、甘肃、宁夏以及湖南5省(自治区)1 733户农户的实地调研数据,借助再中心化影响函数(RIF)回归模型,实证检验退耕补贴到期对农户内部收入及收入结构不平等的影响,并进一步考察退耕补贴到期对不同受教育程度和退耕规模农户内部收入不平等的异质性影响。结果: 1)退耕补贴到期对农户内部收入不平等的估计结果在5%的水平上显著为正。2)分别选用不同度量指标替换基尼系数,由不同度量指标所构建的RIF模型均通过了稳健性检验,说明研究结果是可靠的。3)从收入结构上看,退耕补贴到期对农户内部工资性和生产经营性收入不平等的估计结果均在10%的水平上显著为正,对农户内部转移性收入不平等的估计结果在10%的水平上显著为负,对农户内部财产性收入不平等的估计结果不显著。4)对于不同受教育程度农户而言,退耕补贴到期对小学及以下和初中农户内部收入不平等的估计结果分别在5%和10%的水平上显著为正,而对高中及以上农户内部收入不平等的估计结果在10%的水平上显著为负;对于不同退耕规模农户而言,退耕补贴到期对中等规模及以上退耕农户内部收入不平等的估计结果在10%的水平上显著为正,但对小规模退耕农户内部收入不平等的估计结果并不显著。结论: 首轮退耕补贴到期在一定程度上会扩大农户内部收入不平等。退耕补贴到期对退耕农户内部工资性和生产经营性收入不平等具有加剧作用,而对内部转移性收入不平等则具有缩小作用。不同类型农户内部收入不平等受退耕补贴到期影响的差异较大,具体表现为退耕补贴到期会加剧中低学历和中等退耕规模及以上农户内部的收入不平等,缓解高学历农户内部收入不平等,而对小退耕规模农户内部收入不平等无显著影响。基于此,本文从拓宽农户就业渠道、促进后续相关产业发展以及进行有针对性的政策帮扶等方面提出相应建议。

Abstract:

Objective: This study aims to explore the impact of the expiration of the first round subsidies for the sloping land conversion program (SLCP) on the income inequality among farmer households, which would provide decision-making reference for improving the follow-up SLCP policy and promoting common prosperity. Method: Based on the field survey data of 1 733 farmer households in five Provinces (autonomous region) of Hebei, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia and Hunan in 2019 and 2021, with the re-centralization impact function (RIF) regression model, this paper empirically tested the impact of the expiration of the subsidies for the SLCP on the inequality of internal income and income structure of farmer households, and further investigated the heterogeneous impact of the expiration of the subsidies for the SLCP on the internal income inequality of farmer households at different levels of education and the conversion scale. Result: 1) The estimated result of the expiration of the subsidies for the SLCP on the income inequality among farmer households was significantly positive at the level of 5%. 2) Different metrics were selected to replace Gini coefficient, and the RIF model constructed by the different metrics passed the robustness test, indicating that the research results were reliable. 3) From the perspective of income structure, the estimated results of the expiration of the subsidies for the SLCP on the inequality from farmer households’ internal wage income and production income were significantly positive respectively at the level of 10%, the estimated results of farmer households’ internal transfer income was significantly negative at the level of 10%, and that of farmer households’ internal property income was not significant. 4) For farmer households at different levels of education, after the expiration of the subsidies for the SLCP, the estimated results of internal income inequality of farmer households at and below primary school and below junior high school were significantly positive at the level of 5% and 10%, respectively, while the estimated results of internal income inequality of farmer households at and above high school were significantly negative at the level of 10%. For farmer households with different scale of the SLCP, the estimated result of the internal income inequality from farmer households with medium scale and above of the SLCP was significantly positive at the level of 10%, but the estimated result of the internal income inequality from farmer households with small-scale of the SLCP was not significant. Conclusion: The expiration of the first round of subsidies for the SLCP widens the income inequality among farmer households to a certain extent. The expiration of subsidies for the SLCP expands the inequality of farmer households’ internal wage income and production income respectively, but reduces the inequality of farmer households’ internal transfer income. There exist great different impacts of the expiration of subsidies for the SLCP on income inequality among the types of farmer households. The expiration of subsidies for the SLCP aggravates the income inequality among the farmer households with middle and low education background and with medium and above scale of the SLCP, but alleviates the income inequality among farmer households with high education background, and has no significant impact on income inequality of farmer households with small scale of the SLCP. Based on the above, this paper puts forward corresponding suggestions from the aspects of broadening farmers’ employment channels, promoting the development of subsequent related industries and carrying out targeted policy assistance.
