Abstract:

Objective: This paper tried to clear the income effects of access to forest property rights mortgage loan (FPRM), the participation of poor households and its influencing factors. The conclusion were expected to provide references for improving the FPRM policies targeting poverty alleviation. Method: Based on the survey data of 702 households from 5 province in China, this paper used the treatment effect model to analyze its effect on household agriculture income, then applied the bivariate Probit model to analyze different poor households' loan behaviors with the FPRM and its influencing factors.Result: The impacts of access to FPRM were obviously positive, more sensitive for the general poor, and productive fixed assets had a significant impact on agriculture revenue. The participation of different poor households in loan were weak, and its influencing factors were different, to be specific, in terms of demand for FPRM, families get sick or not had merely significant positive impacts on the severely poor, while, the cognition of the forestry subsidy policy had significant negative impacts on the non-poor, in terms of the availability of FPRM, having families worked in government agency or not and the proportion of breeding revenue had merely significant positive impacts on the non-poor, productive fixed assets had significant positive impacts on the general poor, but negative impacts on the non-poor. Objective: The income effect of FPRM was obvious, but it was not clear the FPRM policies helped the poor to alleviate poverty, the availability of FPRM was at a low level, and the demand of the poor were not high. Therefore, to adapting to the new needs of the strategy of helping the poor to alleviate poverty, extending the function of FPRM and improving its performance, we should create and improve the design of FPRM products and precise assistance modes targeting poverty alleviation, enhance the ability of poor farmers to undertake loans which could raise their loan availability, improve the long-term multiple cooperative operation mechanism of FPRM for poverty alleviation which could extend the function of FPRM policies and promote its performances from all-round.

Key words: poor farmers, forest property rights mortgage loan, treatment effect model, bivariate Probit model
