Evaluation of soil and water conservation performance under promotion incentive based on stochastic frontier function model

Abstract

With the increase of investment in soil and water conservation in China, its implementation has attracted much attention. There have been studies on soil erosion control and economic loss in previous studies, but the performance of soil and water conservation has rarely been evaluated by stochastic frontier function model. Based on the stochastic frontier function model and considering the change of local environmental managers, this study combined with the data of soil and water statistics to conduct time series analysis, and found that the environmental management under the pressure of promotion will improve the efficiency of water and land resources management.
