【摘要】We examine the effect of an in situ housing program that has greatly improved housing conditions for the poor in a minority region in China. We find that housing condition improvement significantly increases earned income for the poor. Our mechanism analyses show that this positive income effect is due to health improvement and investment increase caused by housing condition improvement. We also compare the effect of this program with a local relocation program and find that the relocation program has no significant effects on the earned income.
