Research on performance of the poverty-alleviation funds in China with least squares estimation method

Poverty-alleviation funds (PAF) play an important role in poverty alleviation work. According to research on the evaluation index, financial sourcing and management method of poverty alleviation funds, some conclusions were found: poverty incidence couldn´t be used to measure the PAF´s performance; GOfunds play a bigger role in PAF than NGOfunds; The tentative measures to evaluate financial Poverty-alleviation funds performance has no effect on poverty alleviation work. Qualitative research could make quantitative analysis on the issue. We choose GOfunds, NGOfunds, China per capital GDP, policy virtual variable as explanatory variables; poverty incidence, farmers´ per capita income in poverty-striken country as explained variables, using Cost -benefit assessment method, establishing OLS model to do precise quantitative analysis of Poverty-Alleviation Funds´ performance. Due to Poverty-alleviation funds was began 1990s in China, we collected few samples, the model also needs further research.
