Empirical Study on the Relationship between Farmers' Human Capital Investment and Rural Poverty

Literatures about the relationship between human capital investment and rural poverty are reviewed.According to the time-series data from 1990 to 2007,VAR model and variance decomposition research are used to study the relationship between household human capital investment and rural poverty.Result shows that there is long-run equilibrium relationship between household human capital investment and rural poverty.Educational investment and health investment have significant impacts on the alleviation of rural poverty;while migration investment does not have significant impact on the alleviation of rural poverty.Among the factors causing poverty fluctuations,educational investment has greater impacts on poverty fluctuations than health investment in the short run,but health investment has greater impacts on poverty fluctuations than educational investment in the long run.Based on this,related countermeasures are put forward,such as further increasing the investment in education and health,implementing the compulsory education and social security system,consolidating the rural cooperative medical care,improving the retirement pension system in rural areas,and perfecting the training and technical extension system for rural population under the poverty line.

农户人力资本投资与农村贫困关系的实证研究

考察了有关人力资本投资与农村贫困关系的文献,根据1990～2007年的时间序列数据,运用向量自回归模型及其方差分解实证,研究了农户人力资本投资与农村贫困之间的关系。结果表明,农户人力资本投资与农村贫困之间存在长期的均衡关系;教育投资和健康投资均对农村贫困有显著的缓解效益,而迁移投资对农村贫困的缓解并未产生显著影响;在引起贫困波动的因素中,短期内,教育投资对贫困波动的影响大于健康投资,但在长期,健康投资对贫困波动的影响大于教育投资。基于此,提出了相关对策建议:进一步加大教育和健康投资的力度,推行义务教育和社会保障体系,加大农村合作医疗统筹力度,完善农村养老保障制度,健全农村贫困人口的培训和技术推广体系。

新疆少数民族特困区人力资本反贫困实证研究——以喀什地区为例

文章采用灰色关联度法,验证了人力资本在新疆集中连片特困区扶贫开发中的核心地位。并进一步采用VAR模型,通过定量分析验证了人力资本对人均收入的影响显著。在此基础上,提出新疆集中连片特困区农村实现脱贫的新思路,即加大对喀什地区农村人力资本的投资,提升劳动者的人力资本。
