Abstract
- It is vital to evaluate the effects of China's farmland certification programme on farmers' economic welfare and clarify the impact mechanism. This paper uses the China Labour Dynamics Survey (2014, 2016),<superscript>1</superscript> building endogenous switching regression and endogenous switching probit models to test the impact of the farmland certification programme on farmers' net agricultural income and poverty status after correcting for endogeneity. A robustness analysis is conducted applying instrumental variable and propensity score matching methods. The results indicate that the farmland certification programme can significantly increase farmer households' economic welfare, including an 83.10% improvement in agricultural net income and a 3.17% reduction in poverty. Farmland certification also prompts farmers to allocate more resources to agriculture and reduces poverty by increasing farmers' agricultural income. This study presents a constructive evaluation of the performance of China's farmland certification policy, providing a strong theoretical and empirical foundation and a useful policy reference for consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation and effectively linking rural revitalisation.
