利益格局与居民消费

Interest Structure and Resident Consumption

本文主要探讨中国消费率低的原因。利用中国综合社会调查数据(CGSS)进行分析,以利益格局入手来分析其对居民消费的影响,核心为客观的收入分层与主观的社会地位认知。发现研究收入边际消费倾向呈现"M"型,中等收入群体出现"塌陷",低收入群体在一定时期内状况恶化,对于消费产生了负向的影响,但整体的边际消费率在改善。同时,城市户口人群有着更高的消费倾向,低社会地位认知会对消费产生抑制作用。

This study uses data from CGSS (China General Social Survey) to estimate the impact of interest structure on resident consumption. The key concepts of the study are income stratification and subjective social status identity. It is demonstrated that there is an 'M' relationship rather than inverse 'U' between marginal propensity to consume and income groups in recent years. The marginal propensity to consume of middle income groups has sunk and that of low income groups deteriorated in specific period which has a negative effect on the consumption. Besides, the lower social status identity restrains consumption and urban residents with Hukou has higher consumption propensity.
