英文文献摘要:
This paper presents an empirical analysis of the relationship between rural poverty and environmental change using district-level data from South, Central and West India. Unlike prior works, this study puts the hypothesis of bi-directional link between poverty and environment to econometric test. Environmental change is measured using a satellite-based vegetation index. Consonant with the dominant view in the literature, the evidence suggests that rural poverty spur vegetation degradation. The results also indicate that the vegetation degradation spurs rural poverty but the magnitude of the effect varies across sub regions classified on the basis of geographic and climatic factors. Thus these results provide evidence in support of existence of a poverty-environment nexus in rural India.
与以往的研究不同,本研究将贫困与环境之间的双向联系的假设纳入了计量经济学检验。利用卫星植被指数测量环境变化。与文献中占主导地位的观点一致,证据表明,农村贫困刺激了植被退化。研究结果还表明,植被退化促进了农村贫困,但影响程度因地理和气候因素不同而不同。因此,这些结果为印度农村存在贫困与环境关系提供了证据。
