Wanglin Ma, Awudu Abdulai. Does cooperative membership improve household welfare? Evidence from apple farmers in China[J]. Food Policy, 2016, 58: 94-102.

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of cooperative membership on farm performance indicators such as apple yields, net returns and household income, using cross-sectional data from a survey of farmers in China. An endogenous switching regression model that accounts for selection bias is employed in the analysis. The empirical results reveal that cooperative membership exerts a positive and statistically significant impact on apple yields, farm net returns and household income. A disaggregated analysis also reveals that small-scale farms tend to benefit more from cooperatives than medium and large farms.
