| Summary/Abstract |
This study provides one of the first empirical tests of the political impact of dibao, China's anti-poverty cash transfer programme. Using the China Family Panel Study 2010 data set and a propensity score matching method, the authors examine whether and the extent to which dibao benefits have impacted recipients' assessment of local government performance. To investigate the heterogeneity effect of dibao, the authors conducted separate analyses for urban and rural samples. Results have shown that receiving dibao benefits had a significant and positive impact on citizens' assessment of local government in China. Nonetheless, the subsample results suggest that the positive and significant impacts of dibao benefits might be driven mainly by the rural sample. Overall, the study implies that China's dibao policy has achieved a mixed success in alleviating discontent and boosting popular support for the government.

| Summary/Abstract |
Dibao is not only China's primary social assistance programme, but also the world's largest such programme in terms of beneficiary population. This article reviews the international literature on monitoring management performance and impact evaluation of social assistance programmes around the world and offers a roadmap for improving dibao monitoring and evaluation through better data and methodology preparation and system building. Specifically, the authors propose to design and conduct more rigorous and better coordinated longitudinal research studies focusing on dibao's target population and covering multidimensional outcomes, with a particular emphasis on children and welfare-to-work programmes.

| Summary/Abstract |
Using the China Household Income Project 2013 rural data set and a propensity score matching method, this study examines the association between participation in China's rural dibao programme and household consumption patterns. To provide a focused analysis of this relationship among low-income families, the authors restrict the sample to households whose per capita income was at or below 1.5 times the national poverty line. The results show that rural dibao recipient households shifted their consumption patterns by prioritising health and food over other expenses. It is regrettable that the rural dibao programme was unable to help increase educational investments in recipient families.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article tracks recent policy developments of urban–rural dibao coordination, analyses different local strategies and discusses future directions that could help maximise its policy impact. Local strategies for integrating urban–rural dibao lines range from the most advanced full unification to partial unification and narrowing of the urban–rural gap, and to other practices such as focusing on specific population groups and raising the rural and urban dibao lines that correspond to external criteria. Future efforts will be needed to address the continued challenges rooted in the uneven development and limited coordination across localities in order to achieve greater unification in urban and rural dibao.
