In 2015, the Chinese government issued the Decision on Poverty Alleviation(DPA), requiring poverty-stricken areas to develop local characteristic industries based on their resource endowments, to promote industrial structure diversification and industrial structure upgrading through industry-driven poverty alleviation. However, existing research lacks empirical analysis to evaluate it. Therefore, this paper takes poor counties in the Qinba Mountain contiguous poverty-stricken areas(QMCPA) as an example, using the difference in difference model and boundary effect model to evaluate whether DPA has promoted industrial structure upgrading and industrial structure diversification in poor counties. The results show that the DPA has promoted industrial structure upgrading and improved industrial structure diversification in the QMCPA. However, the effectiveness of it is not sufficient. Poor counties have failed to maintain the policy requirement of developing characteristic industries based on local natural resource endowments, leading to a decline in the degree of industrial structure diversification in the later period of the policy. This study indicates that local governments should strive to develop advantageous industries and form a division of labor and cooperation with neighboring areas, strengthen inter-regional cooperation and contact, and enhance anti-risk capabilities to avoid homogenized competition. Studying the changes in industrial structure in the QMCPA has important significance for the long-term stable development and poverty elimination of various poor areas.
2015年，中国政府发布了《关于打赢脱贫攻坚战的决定》，要求贫困地区根据自身资源禀赋发展地方特色产业，通过产业带动扶贫促进产业结构多元化和产业结构升级。然而，现有研究缺乏对其进行评估的实证分析。因此，本文以秦巴山区连片特困地区的贫困县为例，运用双重差分模型和边界效应模型评估《决定》是否促进了贫困县的产业结构升级和产业结构多元化。结果表明，《决定》促进了秦巴山区连片特困地区的产业结构升级，改善了产业结构多元化。然而，其效果并不充分。贫困县未能坚持基于当地自然资源禀赋发展特色产业的政策要求，导致政策后期产业结构多元化程度下降。本研究表明，地方政府应努力发展优势产业，与邻区形成分工合作，加强区域间合作与联系，增强抗风险能力，避免同质化竞争。研究秦巴山区连片特困地区产业结构变化对各贫困地区的长期稳定发展和脱贫具有重要意义。
