In this study, we estimated the impact on local household livelihoods of the Natural Forest Protection Program (NFPP), which is the largest logging-ban program in the world, which aims to protect watersheds and conserve natural forests. In doing so, we used a series of microeconometric policy-evaluation techniques to assess the impacts of the NFPP on two interrelated facets of household livelihoods: income and off-farm labor supply. We found that the NFPP has had a negative impact on incomes from timber harvesting but has actually had a positive impact on total household incomes from all sources. Furthermore, we found that off-farm labor supply outside the village has increased more rapidly in NFPP than in non-NFPP areas. Based on these results, policy implications for household livelihoods were drawn and are presented herein.
在这项研究中，我们评估了世界上最大的限伐令项目——天然林保护工程（NFPP）对当地家庭生计的影响。该项目旨在保护流域和天然林。为此，我们使用了一系列微观计量政策评估技术来评估 NFPP 对家庭生计的两个相互关联的方面的影响：收入和非农劳动力供应。我们发现，NFPP 对木材采伐收入产生了负面影响，但实际上却增加了家庭所有来源的总收入。此外，我们发现，村外非农劳动力供应在 NFPP 地区的增长速度快于非 NFPP 地区。基于这些结果，我们提出了对家庭生计的政策启示，并在本文中进行了介绍。
