Abstract:

The self-financing or “collective labor” public goods supply outside the system has played an important role in rural public goods supply, but the large-scale rural migration has taken some negative shock on this traditional supply mechanism. Using the dataset of Rural-Urban Migrant in China, this paper explores the relationship between rural migration and the village self-financing public investment through introducing the instrumental variable method to solve the endogeneity problem. The results show that rural migration has significantly negative effect on the village self-financing public investment, and the robustness test also gives the support evidence. Strengthening financial support and encouraging the provision of public goods outside the system may be the important direction for the future policy innovation.
