惟一“真实”的基尼系数是否可得?

Is the Only "Real" Gini Coefficient Available?

导致当前我国居民收入分配基尼系数计算结果出现分歧的原因是多方面的,对其中的部分主要原因进行分析后发现,我们没有办法对这些原因加以清除。因此,要想通过平等讨论的途径来获得一个惟一"真实"的基尼系数是非常困难甚至不可能的。我们能够得到的只是人们在不同话语系统的引导和约束下所完成的有关中国居民收入分配差距的不同话语建构;这些不同的话语建构之间在"真值"方面具有等价性。

There are many factors leading to the different calculations of China's Gini coefficient.The author's analysis of the existing literature shows that we have no way to eliminate the 'noises' in the calculation of the coefficient.Therefore,it is very difficult or even impossible to get a unique 'real' Gini coefficient through equal discussions.What we are able to get are only some discourse constructions on Chinese residents' income gap completed by different researchers under the guide and constraints of different discourse systems.All of these different discourse constructions might be the 'real' representation of the actual income gap.
