本文利用从坦桑尼亚两个沿海村庄（Mlingotini 和 Nyamanzi）收集的家庭数据，应用 Tobit 模型来调查解释家庭是否参与各种活动决策的因素。结果表明，农户参与各种活动的决定受到两个村庄的资产禀赋、农户结构、当地机构和具体位置特征的显着影响。此外，这些结果表明，渔业资产权利和准入影响是家庭总收入变化的主要决定因素。综上所述，研究结果表明，家庭在不同活动选择上存在异质性，政策制定者在设计沿海地区保护发展政策时应考虑这一点。
This paper applies Tobit models to investigate factors that explain households’ decision-making on whether or not to participate in various activities, using household data collected from two Tanzanian coastal villages (Mlingotini and Nyamanzi). The results indicate that households’ decision to participate in various activities is significantly influenced by asset endowments, households’ structure, local institutions, and location- specific characteristics of both villages. In addition, these results reveal that fishing assets entitlements and access influence are the main determinants for variation in total household’s income. Taken together, the findings show existence of households’ heterogeneity in making choices among different activities, which should be considered by policymakers when designing conservation-development policies in coastal areas.
