中国金融发展对贫富差距影响的实证研究

An Empirical Study on the Influence of Chinese Financial Development on Gap Between the Rich and the Poor

运用协整检验、Granger因果检验等经济计量方法,对我国1981～2008年贫富差距水平与金融发展水平之间的关系进行实证分析,研究结果显示:中国贫富差距水平与金融发展水平之间存在着长期的协整关系;金融发展规模是中国贫富差距扩大的重要原因,中国贫富差距水平对金融发展规模影响不显著,而中国贫富差距水平与金融发展效率之间的因果关系也不显著,因此,从解决贫富差距问题着手发展中国金融业应值得重视。

Using such metrological method as co-integration test and Granger causality test,this paper aims at making an empirical study on the relationship between the gap between the rich and the poor and financial development level during the period of 1981-2008.The study arrives at two conclusions:1.There exists a long co-integration relationship between the gap between the rich and the poor and financial development level;2.Financial developing scale is an important cause of the increasing gap mentioned above.The gap has a slim influence on financial development and vice versa.Therefore,attention must be paid to the development of Chinese financial industry from dealing with the gap between the poor and the rich.
