中国城乡居民消费行为差异的实证分析

Empirical Study on Consumption Differences between China's Urban and Rural Residents

根据中国城乡居民1985-2003年间的统计数据,建立了城乡居民的不同收入消费模型,并对城乡居民的消费行为进行了对比分析。得出以下结论:一是我国城镇居民和农村居民的消费行为分别能由持久收入模型和引入虚拟变量的绝对收入模型来解释;二是农村居民的基本生活水平有所下降,城乡居民收入差距进一步扩大,但农村居民的边际消费倾向高于城镇居民;三是我国城乡居民的收入和支出的不对称性,导致了农村居民在支出上“捉襟见肘”。

On the basis of China＇s urban and rural residents＇ statistic data from 1985 to 2003, this paper establishes urban and rural residents＇. Drawing the conclusions： First, urban and rural residents＇expenditure behaviors can be explained by persisting income model and absolute income model adopting dummy variable individually; Second, rural residents＇ expenditure level is descending, and the income gap between them is expanding, but marginal consumption tendency of the rural residents is larger than the urban residents＇; Third,the rural residents run short of ways in dealing with the situation of dissymmetrical of their income and expenditure.
