本文利用中国三省农村家庭的面板数据，识别了长期贫困的决定因素，并检验了持续时间对脱贫概率的依赖性。特别强调贫困线的选择和各省之间的区域差异。结果表明，大多数人口似乎只是暂时贫穷。然而，贫困持续时间对贫困人口脱贫概率的影响在不同省份之间存在差异，从浙江的无持续时间依赖到云南的显著持续时间依赖。非工作家庭成员的数量，教育和几个村庄的特点似乎是最重要的协变量。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Using rural household panel data from three Chinese provinces, this paper identifies determinants of long-term poverty and tests the duration dependence on the probability to leave poverty. Special emphasis is given to the selection of the poverty line and inter-regional differences across provinces. Results suggest that the majority of population seems to be only temporary poor. However, the probability to leave poverty for those who were poor is differently affected by poverty duration across provinces ranging from no duration dependence in Zhejiang to highly significant duration dependence in Yunnan. The number of nonworking family members, education, and several village characteristics seem to be the most important covariates. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
