Abstract
China’s latest Collective Forest Tenure Reform (CFTR) has been gradually implemented since 2003. CFTR is placed as a new round of tenure reform posterior to Three Fixes initialized in 1981. CFTR is aiming at improvements of users’ forest investments by assigning land use rights to the households. With regard to the evaluation of CFTR, Wu et al. (2019) focused on the households’ subjective comprehensions on property rights to elucidate the inclination of forest management under CFTR. However, the factors which denote the effects on forest management incentives are still not yet been estimated. This paper indicated these determinants by employing Generalized Linear Models fitted over Wu et al. (2019)’s dataset. The empirical analyses reveal that 1) The perception of stronger tenure does have some positive effects but seems equivocal. 2) There are few impacts of granted alienation rights identified. 3) The prior experience in managing forests has unrivaled effects compared with the other factors. 4) Political influences excluding designation and compensation of reserve forest have not had a pronounced effect. Finally, the implications of these results are also discussed.
