Abstract EN

The corruption in the field of poverty alleviation not only hinders the performance of the government but also damages the vital interests of the poor, harms the image of the party and the country, and makes the poor people further impoverished.

Based on the method of system dynamics, this paper analyzes the interaction of elements which influence village officials’ corruption, studies the formation mechanism of the corruption in poverty alleviation, and constructs an effective model to prevent the corruption.

Based on the survey data of typical cases, the model was simulated and validated by the software of Vensim PLE.

The study found that compared with other variables, the willingness of village officials to corrupt has the greatest impact on the amount of their corruption.

Furthermore, it is found that the important factors that affect village officials’ corruption willingness are as in the following order: official culture, village officials’ thought, and prevention system.
