Does Inclusive Growth Encourage Farmers to Participate in Non-economic Collective Actions?Discussion on the Non-economic Effects of China's Targeted Poverty Alleviation Policy Implementation
Good governance in rural areas should not only focus on inclusive growth but also solve the collective action dilemma,creating a governance framework of co-building,co-governing,and sharing public affairs.This paper constructs a theoretical analysis framework that examines how inclusive growth affects non-economic collective action.Based on the China Labor Dynamics Survey(CLDS)data,the study uses the Generalized Bonferroni Curve measurement framework to assess the level of inclusive growth.It employs the targeted poverty alleviation policy as an instrumental variable to identify the causal effect and its mechanism between inclusive growth and non-economic collective action.The study also explores the non-economic effects of implementing targeted poverty alleviation policies from three dimensions:individual poverty,regional poverty,and the effectiveness of poverty alleviation.The findings are as follows.First,inclusive growth promotes farmers'participation in non-economic collective action.For farmers,the lower the household income,the larger the family size,the greater the operational area,and the smaller the village size,the stronger the promoting effect of inclusive growth on farmers'participation in non-economic collective action.Second,inclusive growth enhances the level of mutual assistance and interpersonal trust among farmers,thereby strengthening the mobilization capacity and harmony of villages,and promoting farmers'participation in non-economic collective action.Third,the implementation of targeted poverty alleviation policy not only helps improving the inclusive growth levels but also has non-economic effects.Moreover,inclusive growth is more conducive to promoting the participation in non-economic collective action of rural households in the original poverty households,poverty alleviation regions,and provinces with good poverty alleviation outcomes.This paper provides theoretical logic and micro-evidence on how inclusive growth affects non-economic collective action,offering valuable references for governments to formulate policies that promote inclusive growth and village public goods governance.
