Based on the previous studies, compensation subsidy for the values of non-marketable forest products was computed with a method of compensation coefficient that combines the Engel Coefficient and Logistic Curve. The method was applied in Changbai Mountain area. The total value of the compensation subsidy in 1999 was supposed to 637.93 Yuan·hm-2, of which 70% would be paid directly to the local stakeholders and is much higher than the compensation subsidy previously computed (75Yuan·hm-2·year-1). It is currently impossible for the central government to bear all the costs and investment of natural forest protection. A practical solution is that the local government should invest in forest and put the compensation subsidy into the current revenue.展开更多

文摘Based on the empirical analysis of rural residents’ income and consumption, we are going to discuss the reasons for the weak income growth and lagging consumption of rural residents in China. Finally, we propose relevant suggestions and measures to increase rural residents’ income, promote rural residents’ consumption and develop rural markets.
