中国市场化对城乡收入差距的影响研究——作用机理与实证检验

A study on the impact of marketization on urban-rural income gap in China——Mechanism of action and empirical test

本文从机理分析和实证检验两个维度,就中国市场化对城乡收入差距之间的影响进行了探讨。基于1997—2015年中国省级数据的实证研究,结果发现:中国市场化与城乡收入差距之间存在非线性的倒U型关系。同时发现,外商投资和金融发展水平对城乡收入差距有显著的缩小效应,而城镇化、城乡教育均等化和产业结构变量在样本期内产生了扩大效应。有助于更好地理解市场化改革的重要意义以及对城乡收入分配格局所产生的影响。

This paper discusses the impact of marketization on the income gap between urban and rural areas in China from two dimensions of mechanism analysis and empirical test.Based on provincial-level data from 1997 to 2015,the results show that there is a nonlinear inverted U-shaped relationship between marketization and urban-rural income gap in China.It is also found that foreign investment and financial development level have a significant narrowing effect on urban-rural income gap,while urbanization,urban-rural education equality and industrial structure variables have an expanding effect in the sample period.It is helpful to better understand the significance of market reform and its impact on urban-rural income distribution pattern.
