Abstract

As one of the important means of poverty alleviation work in China, how the actual poverty reduction effect of rural microfinance is worth studying. Taking Sichuan Province as an example, based on the time series data from 1994 to 2014, this paper constructed FGT index, used vector autoregressive model, impulse response and variance decomposition method to quantitatively study the poverty reduction effect of rural microfinance. The results show that: The breadth of poverty, the depth of poverty and the intensity of poverty in the rural areas of Sichuan all have a tendency to expand. The effect of reducing poverty in rural microfinance is small and decreasing; reducing poverty is better than reducing inequality between the number of people living in poverty and income distribution.
