“…However, residents' understanding may still be limited. Conversely, the effect of pollution control in ordinary villages is slightly improved, and residents' happiness is significantly enhanced [48,49]. Hence, the efficiency of pollution control has a stronger effect on the well-being of rural residents in the central region and ordinary villages.…”

Pollution control is of great value in order to achieve sustainable development and meet the needs of human development. This paper utilizes data from four rounds of longitudinal surveys conducted between 2012 and 2018 as part of the China Labor Force Dynamic Survey. Employing multiple linear regression methods, it empirically investigates the impact of pollution control on the well-being of rural residents. Empirical results show that even after accounting for individual, village, and family characteristics, pollution control significantly affects the happiness of rural residents. Notably, water pollution control emerges as having the most pronounced impact on rural residents’ happiness. Furthermore, pollution control enhances the well-being of rural residents by improving the village environment, fostering family harmony, and enhancing the physical and mental health of individuals. A heterogeneity analysis indicates that pollution control exerts a stronger influence on the happiness of residents in the central and western region and ordinary villages, while its impact is somewhat weaker in the eastern region. Addressing the pollution issue remains imperative, along with stimulating the endogenous drivers of rural ecological revitalization, enhancing the effectiveness of grassroots governance in rural areas, and continually bolstering the sense of well-being and happiness among the populace.

“…The sample of this study includes the panel data of county-level administrative units in China's Class I old revolutionary base areas from 2000 to 2021, which are identified based on the official documents issued by a total of 18 provincial-level administrative units in Jiangxi Province, Hunan Province, and others. The old revolutionary base area is a typical underdeveloped area, and it is experiencing rapid non-agricultural employment under the influence of the national regional balanced development policy in the past decade [56]. The data for the research come from the 2000-2021 China County Statistical Yearbook.…”

With the growing trend of arable land abandonment, the potential threat to the security of the food supply has sparked public concern. In order to examine the impact of non-agricultural employment on food security, this study builds linear regression models for research based on panel data from counties in China’s old revolutionary base areas. The empirical results show that, although the impact of non-agricultural employment on total grain production is not significant, it has a significant negative impact on both area and productivity, which indicates that non-agricultural employment poses a challenge to food security. In addition, the study examines the potential benefits of non-farm employment on two aspects of food security, including intensive management and the increase of new business entities. Non-farm employment can also significantly promote intensive management, thereby reducing the food-security challenges brought by non-farm employment, while the benefits of new management entities are insignificant. These findings contribute to the optimization of economic policies related to agricultural development, including exploring land property rights reform systems to promote land transfer, strengthening labor quality improvement in the agricultural sector, and formulating supporting policies to stabilize non-agricultural employment in accordance with local conditions.

“…Other studies have also shown that the implementation of the RRP plays an important role in improving the consumer welfare of rural residents in the old revolutionary base areas in China. It can improve the consumer welfare of rural residents by increasing local fiscal expenditure and narrowing the income gap between urban and rural areas [14]. Nonetheless, these policy-driven effects show regional disparities [15], particularly in China's vast territory, where geographical variations can influence policy outcomes [16,17].…”

A series of revitalization policies (RPs) have been implemented in China’s Old Revolutionary Areas (ORAs). Evaluating the impact of these RPs is of paramount importance for refining policy design and achieving the goal of common prosperity. This study focuses on the ORAs in Gannan (ORAG) and employs the Propensity Score Matching Difference-in-Differences (PSM-DID) method to assess the effects of the RPs from two perspectives: stimulating economic growth and increasing farmers’ income, utilizing county-level data spanning from 2006 to 2019. The findings of this study reveal that while the RP restrains the growth of per capita GDP in ORAG, it significantly promotes the growth of farmers’ income. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in reducing the income gap between ORAG and Jiangxi Province, thus promoting the common prosperity of farmers in ORAG. A detailed examination using quantile regression shows that the RP has a significant and consistent negative impact on GDP per capita GDP at different quantile points. At the same time, it has a significant positive effect on increasing farmers’ income at the 25% quantile point, effectively reducing income inequality among farmers at all quantile levels. The mechanism analysis shows that the RP has stimulated increased government investment in ORAG, leading to an increase in farmers’ incomes and a reduction in income disparities. However, the study also highlights the existence of a “policy trap” that has hindered the RP’s effectiveness in ORAG. Drawing upon these findings, this paper offers policy recommendations to enhance the impact of RP in ORAs.
