中国农村地区收入差距解释:1997～2005

Toward Regional Income Inequality in Rural China:1997-2005

1997～2005年我国农村地区收入差距以2000年为转折点,经历了先下降后上升的变化过程。要素分解分析表明,1997～2000年地区收入差距的下降完全归因于分配效应;2001～2005年地区收入差距的上升主要归因于结构效应。样本分解分析表明,东中西部地区间的差距和东部地区内部的差距是形成农村地区差距的主要原因。费景汉-兰尼斯分解分析表明,工资性收入、地理位置、教育、物质资本和人均占有耕地面积共解释了地区收入差距的80%以上。

Regional income inequality in rural China shows different characteristics with the year 2000 as benchmark.Income disparity decreased from 1997 to 2000 but increased again since 2001.Factor decomposition analysis indicates that the distribution effect explains the declining inequality and the construction effect is the major cause of inequality increase.Subsample decomposition shows that the disparity of inter East-Middle-West and intra-East contributes the major proportion to the overall inequality.Fei-Rainis decomposition shows that wage,location,education,capital and per capita arable land explain 80% of the total inequality.
