“…It ruled that collective-owned rural lands cannot be used for non-agricultural construction [44]. Only the local government can transfer the collective-owned rural lands into the state-owned urban lands [45]. According to the law, the compensation for land acquisition was based on the agricultural output of the land, but the sales revenue of land depended on the value of industrial and commercial output, which was far more than the value of agricultural goods.…”

In developing countries, anti-poverty programs are often implemented by local governments. However, due to the limitation of fiscal resources, the amount of anti-poor expenditure by the local government is generally less than what is needed for the poor. In this paper, we investigate whether an increase in the fiscal resources of local government will lead to an increase in anti-poor fiscal expenditure using county-level Chinese data. Using the fixed effect model, we show that local governments will put more fiscal resources into the minimum living standard guarantee (MLSG) system if they receive more intergovernmental transfers from high-level governments, but this effect only exists in urban areas. Moreover, the off-budget fiscal revenue does not affect the anti-poverty expenditure, both in rural and urban areas.

Indonesia Village Fund policy aims to foster local democracy and rural development through direct funds allocation. During the last seven years (2015-2022), the government has provided Village Fund 400,1 trillion rupiahs (278,3 billion dollars) and continues to increase every year. Numerous studies discover the Village Fund impact on economic conditions but are limited to village scale. This study intends to analyze the impact of the Village Fund on a macro scale, point on the economic growth of a region, specifically on disadvantaged regions. The study conducted through quantitative methods used the panel data approach. The data covers 416 districts from 2015 to 2019. The result shows that the Village Fund has a significant effect, but the value of the effect on GDPR (Gross Domestic Product of Region) is lower than other variables. The effect of Village Fund in disadvantaged regions is greater than in non-disadvantaged regions, which indicates growth acceleration in disadvantaged regions.
