While tourism can be advocated as a means for poverty reduction, the inconclusive issue of poverty in developing countries has harbored doubts about the efficacy of tourism development in its reduction. This study empirically examines whether institutions influence how tourism development affects poverty. We apply the system generalized method of moments technique to estimate our empirical model. By using panel data for 29 Chinese provinces over the period 1999 to 2014, we empirically reveal that tourism and institutions have significant and negative effects not only on the absolute poverty but also on the relative poverty as measured by the Foster–Greer–Thorbecke (FGT) poverty indices in both the short and long run albeit at varying magnitudes of effect and levels of significance. In addition, institutional quality positively moderates the tourism–poverty nexus, thereby suggesting that the pro-poor effect of tourism development decreases as the quality of institutions improves in the thin institutional setting of rural China.

Temporary labor migration in developing countries is an important urban–rural linkage that has a potential impact on rural development. According to the new economies of labor migration, it is often a strategy used by families with small farms to acquire investment capital for future business formation. In this paper, I argue further that human-capital accretion during migration reinforces the mobilization of local social capital, which in turn enhances a returnee's entrepreneurship. By using the results of an in-depth survey of returned labor migrants in rural China, I seek to explain the mobilization of social capital and income return to entrepreneurship in a multivariate framework. I find that skilled returnees are indeed more prone to mobilize social capital. The income return to local social capital is as considerable as that to investment capital and skills acquired at the urban destination. The findings suggest that the consequences of labor migration can be better understood through the integration of the new economics of labor migration and social capital
