摘要

本文研究历史上村民自发组织修筑水利设施的行为是否能够对其后的村民公共事务参与产生长期持续影响。基础回归发现历史上民间修筑水利设施显著提高当前农村人群参与本村公共事务的积极性。文章利用集体化时期国家统一管理水利的政策冲击和样本出生队列信息构造双重差分,同时也使用历史上的年降水量及其二次项作为工具变量进行策略识别,结果依然稳健。进一步地,本文还发现民间修筑水利设施带来的乡规民约及村民之间信任程度提升是历史上民间水利促进当前村民参与公共事务的机制。本文的发现有利于理解中国当前乡村治理过程中村民参与发育程度的历史起源,以从历史传统中寻找促进乡村治理现代化的线索。

Abstract

This study determines the long-term impact of the construction of non-government-managed irrigation facilities throughout history on current villagers’ participation in public affairs. Empirical results indicate that villagers’ participation in the construction and management of irrigation facilities persistently shapes and affects their current participation in public affairs. Using the exogenous shock of state control over nearly all irrigation facilities during collectivization and individuals’ exposure to the policy, as determined by personal birth cohorts, to construct a difference-in-differences model, and employing the primary and secondary terms of historical annual rainfalls as instrumental variables, it is noted that the estimates are consistent with the baseline results. The work also indicates that the rural culture induced by irrigation and trust serves as the underlying action mechanism. These findings contribute to understanding the historical roots of current villagers’ public participation and shed some light on how to modernize rural governance based on the history.
