Public attitude toward self-driving vehicles on public roads
Food-away-from-home plate waste in China
How forestland size affects household profits from timber harvests
What drives people to accept automated vehicles? Findings from a field experiment
How off-farm work drives the intensity of rural households' investment in forest management
Are the poor benefiting from China's land conservation program?
This paper studies the impact of the largest conservation set-aside program in the developing world: China's Grain for Green program, on poverty alleviation in rural areas. Based on a large-scale survey, we find that the program was implemented mostly in the areas of China that are fairly poor. In addition, we show that income from livestock activities and some types of asset holdings of participants have increased significantly more than those o…

Although there have been intensive studies and various policy recommendations on these issues, most discussions have so far neglected the close interrela…
