Local Government StudiesSummary: Using survey data from 633 households in China’s central and western regions, this article employs a life satisfaction approach to examine the influence of village poverty governance on the subjective well-being of rural households and estimates the monetary value of poverty governance. Applying the 2SLS and instrumental variable methods, this study demonstrated that improving village poverty governance can help increase the subjective well-being of rural households. The results also indicated that village poverty governance has a significant positive impact on the well-being of non-poor households but has no significant impact on the well-being of poor households. Given this difference, the participation of poor households in village poverty governance should be increased, and the capability approach of poor groups should be reinforced to prevent unfair procedures and uneven resource allocation. – Reproduced
