中国城乡收入差距影响居民消费倾向的实证分析

Empirical analysis on rural and urban income gap acting on residents’propensity to consume in China

改革开放三十多年来,我国经济发展成就卓越。然而,消费需求在国民经济运行中的影响却呈现逐渐减弱的趋势。特别是随着城乡收入差距的逐渐扩大,居民平均消费倾向持续降低。根据消费函数原理,进行实证分析,发现我国由消费结构差异表现的消费水平低下现象与收入分配的级差有着深刻的内在联系;居民收入差距过大和继续扩大,是导致我国居民消费持续减弱的基本原因。因此,促使收入分配差距缩小和实现其公平化、合理化,是提升居民消费水平、激发经济增长动力的根本途径。

Since the reform and opening-up three decades ago, Chinese economic development has accomplished eye-catching achievement. However, the impact of consumer demand in the national economy showed a gradual weakening trend. Based on the consumption function theory, this paper focuses on an empirical analysis, which shows that there is an intrinsic link between residents＇ average propensity to consume and rural and urban income gap. The phenomenon of low levels of consumption, which resulted from differences between consumption structures, has profound internal relations with the differential in income distribution. And the basic reason for continuous decreasing Chinese residents＇ consumption is the large income gap and the further widening trend. So reducing the gap of income distribution and realizing justice and rationalization is the basic way for improving the level of residents＇ consumption and stimulating economic growth. Key words：
