Abstract:

Due to the effective implementation of targeted poverty alleviation (TPA), absolute poverty has been historically eliminated in China by 2020. Compared with traditional poverty alleviation, the market forces represented by listed companies are more encouraged to actively and extensively participate in “targeted poverty alleviation”. It is necessary to investigate whether the TPA behaviors of listed companies are effective and whether regional differences have an impact on the effectiveness.Based on the data of 334 Chinese listed companies committed to TPA from 2016 to 2019, the TPA behaviors by listed companies are divided into two categories: “blood transfusion” and “blood production”. Further based on the disposable income of rural residents from 455 poor counties in 27 provinces alleviated by the above-mentioned listed companies, the effect of the above two types of TPA behavior on increasing farmers’ income and the moderating effect of the livelihood characteristics (risk and capital) in poor areas on this effect are investigated empirically in this paper. Our results show: Firstly, “blood transfusion” TPA can effectively increase the disposable income of rural residents and narrow the income gap between urban and rural areas. Secondly, at current stage, considering that the “blood transfusion” remains in the ‘incubation and cultivation’ phase during the sample period, its efficacy in enhancing disposable income and narrowing the urban-rural income gap is not yet statistically significant. On the whole, the TPA behaviors of listed companies increase the income of poor farmers. Thirdly, livelihood risk in poor areas plays a negative moderating role in the income effect of TPA, while livelihood capital plays a positive moderating role. The evidence and conclusion summarize the Chinese unique experience of TPA from the perspective of the company, providing positive support for the rationality of “precise” and “targeted” policies, as well as guidance for improving the efficiency of the companies’TPA and enhancing the quality of “blood production” TPA.

Key words: targeted poverty alleviation, listed companies, disposable income of rural residents, urban-rural income gap, sustainable livelihood
