Abstract

In poverty-stricken areas of China, the investment in poverty alleviation funds has a positive impact on the future development of farmers' cooperatives and promotes the transformation of rural poverty alleviation methods. From the perspective of the embedding of poverty alleviation funds, this paper uses the field survey data of 68 farmers’ cooperatives from 16 districts and counties in the Qinba and Wumeng poverty-stricken areas in Sichuan, China. Use the ordered probit model to analyze the direct influencing factors of compactness of benefit coupling of cooperatives, and use the mediating effect test to analyze the indirect influence factors of it. The results show that the biggest factor affecting the compactness of benefit coupling of cooperatives is the shareholding of poor members. The annual profit, the total amount of poverty alleviation funds, the proportion of poverty-stricken members occupying poverty alleviation funds, and the government's follow-up auditing variables have different degrees of influence on the compactness of benefit coupling of cooperatives. The total amount of poverty alleviation funds has the widest and most extensive impact on the compactness of the five forms of benefit coupling such as service connection, and indirectly affects the compactness of benefit coupling of cooperatives through the two mediating variables of annual profit and the shareholding of poor members.
