Abstract

Analyzing the influence mechanism of the transformation of demand willingness and behavior of forestry social services (FSS) of farmers with different operation scales in the production process is crucial for promoting the modernization of the collective FSS system. Based on the survey data of 800 farmers in 3 provinces of China, this study uses the multivariate (Mv-) probit model to quantitatively analyze the mechanism of factor endowments’ influence on farmers’ deviation of demand willingness and choice behavior on three FSSs in the different scales: fine seed and cultivation technology service (SCTS), forest insect pest prevention and treatment service (IPTS), and timber collection and sale service (TCSS). Our results show that the demand rates of IPTS, SCTS, and TCSS are 80.25%, 68.00%, and 68.38%, respectively. Large-scale farmers are more willing to demand FSS than small and medium-scale farmers. However, their actual adoption behavior is low, and there are significant deviations in farmers’ demand willingness and adoption behavior for different types of FSS, i.e., 30.37%,12.62%, and 44.88% for SCTS, IPTS, and TCSS, respectively. Farmers’ transformation from demand willingness to adoption behavior is significantly affected by farmers’ characteristics. Compared with the farmers’ demand willingness model, the inhibitory factors for the transformation behavior for FSS increased significantly, including common factors such as the scale of the managed forest land, the difficulty in applying for logging permits, getting afforestation subsidies, and the proportion of forestry income. In contrast, these factors had the opposite influence on the demand willingness model. The number and degree of positive significant influencing factors decreased, with only the family labor force positively influencing farmers’ transformation behavior for SCTS. Based on the results, it is suggested to scientifically guide the orderly flow of rural labor, promoting the moderate scale concentration of forest land flow, accelerating the speed and benefits of inclusiveness in rural finance, and resolving issues related to farmers’ loans to improve the adoption behavior of FSS by farmers.

影响林业社会服务采用的因素:来自中国主要林业省份的证据
分析不同经营规模农户在生产过程中林业社会服务需求意愿与行为转变的影响机制,对于推进集体林业社会服务体系现代化具有重要意义。本研究基于中国3个省800名农户的调查数据,运用多元概率模型(Mv-)定量分析了要素禀赋对农户在优良种苗栽培技术服务(SCTS)、森林虫害防治服务(IPTS)和木材采销服务(TCSS)三种不同尺度上的需求意愿和选择行为偏差的影响机制。结果表明,IPTS、SCTS和TCSS的需求率分别为80.25%、68.00%和68.38%。与中小农户相比,大型农户更愿意要求FSS。农户对不同类型FSS的需求意愿和采用行为存在显著偏差,SCTS、IPTS和TCSS的需求意愿和采用行为偏差分别为30.37%、12.62%和44.88%。农民特征显著影响农民从需求意愿向采用行为的转变。与农户需求意愿模型相比,FSS转型行为的抑制因素显著增加,包括经营林地规模、申请采伐许可难度、获得造林补贴难度、林业收入占比等常见因素。相反,这些因素对需求意愿模型的影响相反。正向显著影响因素的数量和程度下降,只有家庭劳动力正向影响农户的SCTS转型行为。根据研究结果,建议从科学引导农村劳动力有序流动、促进林地流动适度规模集中、加快农村金融普惠的速度和效益、解决农民贷款相关问题等方面改善农民采用FSS的行为。
