城乡收入不均等与工业品消费关系研究

Study of the Relationship between Industrialized Products Consumption and Income Inequality in China's Rural and Urban Areas

文章基于Murphy等收入分配与工业化的相关理论,对我国城乡收入不均等与工业品消费关系进行分析,利用我国城乡居民基础耐用品消费的时间序列数据,通过面板SUR模型进行了实证研究。结果表明,收入分配不均等对于我国城乡工业品消费的影响存在显著差异,即收入分配不均等对于我国城镇地区工业品消费存在负面影响,而在农村地区则存在正面影响。

Based on Murphy,Shlefer & Vishny's theory,we conduct an empirical study of the relationship between industrialized products consumption and income inequality in China.Using China's rural and urban time series data during 1978-2006 as well as SUR model,the empirical result shows that the impact of income inequality on the consumption of the industrialized products is different between China's rural and urban areas.The effect of inequality is negative in urban area,but it is positive in rural area.
