Abstract:

Objective: To clarify the mechanism of the new round of confirming collective forestland property rights on farmers’ forestry production input, and to provide theoretical basis for deepening the reform of collective forestland tenure. Method: On the basis of a unbalanced panel data of 3 158 sample farmers from 18 counties (cities) in 9 provinces (autonomous regions) from 2003 to 2021 and fixed effects models, by identifying the difference of incentive between the existing forestland before the new round of collective forestland tenure reform and the newly acquired forestland after the new round of collective forestland tenure reform and fully considering the social and economic environment changes around the collective forestland tenure reform, the impact of confirming collective forestland property rights on farmers’ forestry production input was estimated, and dynamic impact analysis and heterogeneity analysis were carried out. Result: 1) Confirming collective forestland property rights has a positive incentive effect on farmers’ forestry production input, and the positive cumulative effect of property rights is mainly reflected in forestry investment. 2) Farmers’ forestry production input on existing forestland has an obvious “Ashenfelter’s dip”, and awareness of avoiding property rights risks in capital input is stronger than in labor input. 3) The impact of the confirming collective forestland property rights on farmers’ forestry production input has significant regional and scale heterogeneity. Conclusion: Long-term stable property rights of forestland can effectively motivate farmers to increase forestry production input. It is necessary to continue to strengthen the property rights registration of collective forestland and make up for omissions and correct errors, implement the renewal of forestland contract rights according to local conditions, promote coordinate of high-level protection and high-quality development, and promote the appropriate scale management of collective forestland through mechanism and model innovation.

Key words: the reform of collective forestland tenure, forestry production input, property rights cumulative effect
