集体林权制度改革对农户采伐行为的影响

Effect of Collective Forest Tenure Reform on People's Harvesting Behaviors

使用2005和2010年江西省集体林区调查数据,运用Probit模型研究集体林权制度改革对农户采伐决策的影响,运用FE和RE研究林改对木材和竹材采伐量的影响。结果表明:集体林权制度改革可显著增加木材和竹材的采伐量,其中林下资源的使用权可以延迟农户对木材的采伐,农户倾向于在产权明确的林地上进行采伐,同时家庭经营林业的方式不利于木材供给的增加。基于本文的实证,建议在勘界发证的工作中应首先确保用材林地,提倡以林地流转的方式实现林地的规模经营。

After the success of household contract management, the collective forest tenure reform has been implemented in order to allocate the forestlands to farmers with the very rights to use them, to deal with them and to make profit from them. Whether these changes can exert any effects on farmers＇ harvesting behaviors or not has been tested in this paper. Based on data collected from Jiangxi Province in 2005 and 2010 respectively, Probit model was used to analyze how the collective forest tenure reform influences people＇ s cutting decisions, while FE and RE were used to test how the reform influences timber harvesting and bamboo yield. The empirical research reveals that the collective forest tenure reform does promote the actual timber production and bamboo yield. Furthermore, farmers would prefer to cut timber on forestlands with more specific property rights, while if farmers have the under-forest right of using non-timber resources, they would tend to delay timber harvesting. Thus, the conclusion of this paper is that ensuring all the timberland have certifications and large-scale management are necessary to promote timber products.
