The reform of rural collective property rights is pivotal in advancing agricultural modernization and comprehensive rural revitalization. This study aims to explore the impact of this reform on income growth and poverty reduction in rural areas, as well as its underlying mechanisms. Utilizing data from the China Rural Revitalization Survey (CRRS), the propensity score matching (PSM) method was employed to empirically analyze the effects of rural collective property rights reform on income growth and poverty reduction. The findings reveal that the reform has a significant positive impact on rural income levels, indirectly enhancing income through two channels: increasing village collective assets and promoting land transfer. Additionally, the reform has a significant negative impact on rural poverty levels, effectively alleviating poverty in rural areas. Heterogeneity analysis further reveals the differential effects of property rights reform, indicating that non-poor villages, villages with higher educational levels among village leaders, and rural areas in the western regions benefit more from the reform. This study provides precise evidence for policymakers, offering a scientific basis for deepening rural collective property rights reform, promoting income growth, and fostering sustainable rural development.
农村集体产权制度改革对于推进农业现代化和乡村全面振兴至关重要。本研究旨在探讨这一改革对农村地区增收减贫的影响及其作用机制。利用中国乡村振兴调查（CRRS）数据，采用倾向得分匹配（PSM）方法实证分析了农村集体产权制度改革对增收减贫的影响。研究结果表明，改革对农村收入水平具有显著的正向影响，通过增加村集体资产和促进土地流转两条渠道间接促进增收。此外，改革对农村贫困水平具有显著的负向影响，有效缓解了农村贫困。异质性分析进一步揭示了产权制度改革的差异化效应，表明非贫困村庄、村领导受教育水平较高的村庄以及西部地区的农村地区从改革中受益更多。本研究为政策制定者提供了精准的证据，为深化农村集体产权制度改革、促进增收和实现可持续乡村发展提供了科学依据。
