草原生态补奖对农牧民生计韧性的影响研究OA

Based on micro-level mixed cross-sectional data collected from 1,049 farmers and herdsmen through field surveys in Yanchi County,Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and Etuoke Banner,Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,this study employs Tobit regression,quantile regression,and seemingly unrelated regression(SUR)to analyze the impact of grassland ecological compensation policy on livelihood resilience and its heterogeneity.Key findings include:1)The implementation of grassland ecological compensation policy significantly enhances livelihood resilience of farmers and herdsmen in the study area,a conclusion that persists after addressing endogeneity issues and rigorous robustness testing.This enhancement mechanism operates primarily through strengthening farmers and herdsmen's buffering capacity and self-organization capabilities.2)The policy exhibits a pro-poor effect in its impact on livelihood resilience of farmers and herdsmen in the study area,demonstrating greater efficacy in elevating resilience levels for households with medium-low baseline resilience.This outcome highlights the inclusive nature of ecological compensation in reducing livelihood vulnerability disparities.3)Targeted effects emerge in policy implementation in the study area,with disproportionately greater resilience improvements observed among three specific groups:livestock-reduction households,large-scale breeding operations,and practitioners of traditional livelihood strategies.This heterogeneity underscores the importance of differentiated policy design.Based on these findings,we propose three evidence-based recommendations:elevating compensation standards to amplify incentive effects,leveraging synergistic interactions between scaled livestock breeding and ecological compensation mechanisms,and optimizing subsidy precision through needs-based targeting,to help improve the livelihood resilience of farmers and herdsmen in pastoral and semi-pastoral areas of grassland regions.
