A theoretical explanation of collective forest tenure reform mode in China — Based on two level evolution game model

In China, collective forest tenure reform is the process of repeated games among three stakeholders about central government, local government and farmers. It includes not only macro-level game between central government and local government, but also the micro-level\´s which between local government and farmers. This paper analyses the process of evolutionary stable equilibrium in collective forest tenure reform with two level\´s evolutionary game model and proposes it should consider benefit maximization of game subjects, encourage institutional innovation coming from micro-level and improve supervision mechanism to avoid the local government\´s "rent-seeking" behavior in collective forest tenure reform in China.
