Abstract:

Objective: This article aims to provide scientific evidence for optimizing state-owned forest management policies and promoting high-quality forestry development by studying the impact mechanism of the transformation of the state-owned forest management system on the development of new forestry productivity. Method: Based on panel data from 87 state-owned forestry enterprises in northeast China’s state-owned forest areas from 2010 to 2021, this study employs the entropy method to measure the level of new forestry productivity. The study uses a multi-period difference-in-differences model (multi-period DID), propensity score matching-difference-in-differences model (PSM-DID), and mediation effect model to quantitatively analyze the impact and mechanism of the transformation of state-owned forest management system on the development of new forestry productivity. Result: 1) From 2010 to 2021, the new forestry productivity index in northeast China’s state-owned forest areas increased from 0.055 8 to 0.098 7, maintaining a general upward trend. 2) The transformation of the state-owned forest management system has a significant positive impact on the development of new forestry productivity. 3) There is significant heterogeneity in the reform effects among different forestry groups. The transformation of the state-owned forest management system shows a significant positive impact on the new forestry productivity in Inner Mongolia forestry group and Daxing’anling forestry group, while in Yichun forestry group, the impact is significantly negative due to management system changes. 4) Mechanism tests indicate that environmental information disclosure and resource optimization and efficiency improvement are the main pathways through which the system transformation promotes the development of new forestry productivity. Conclusion: To further enhance new forestry productivity, it is essential to deepen management system reform, formulate differentiated policies, strengthen the environmental information disclosure system, promote resource optimization and efficiency improvement, and provide strong policy support and complementary mechanisms.

Key words: transformation of state-owned forest management system, new forestry productivity, environmental information disclosure, resource optimization and efficiency improvement
