教育对农村居民收入流动性的影响

Education and Income Mobility in Rural China

本文基于CHNS数据建立一个多项Logit模型,分析教育等因素对农村居民收入流动性的影响。总体上,教育对于农村居民的收入流动性具有重要的影响,教育程度越高,收入向上流动的可能性越大;不过在更具体的层面上,虽然较高的教育程度可以有效阻止农村居民收入的下滑,但高中及以上教育程度对收入向上流动的影响却没有对向下流动的影响显著。

This paper estimates the effects of education on income mobility in rural China. The results show that generally education increases the upward mobility of the rural households' income. However, more precise classification shows that, although higher level of education can prevent the drop of rural households' income, education above high school has no significant effect on the upward mobility of that.
