中国农民收入差异分析

Analysis of China Farmers' Income Difference

本文利用泰尔指数来测算我国农民收入的差异,发现新世纪以来我国农民收入的不平等经历了一个先上升后下降的阶段;进一步对农民收入按来源进行分解发现工资性收入造成的不平等仍是不平等的主要来源,但是财产性收入和转移性收入对不平等的贡献逐年增大,转移支付并没有成为缩小收入差距的一种有效手段;最后文章基于VECM模型研究了抚养系数与工资性收入的长期动态关系,一定程度上解释了造成工资性收入巨大差异的原因。

In this paper, the Theil index is used to measure the differences in China farmers＇ income. We found that in the new century, Chinese income inequality among farmers through a phase of increased and then de- creased. Further studies showed that wage income is the main source of inequality. However, the contribution of property income and transfer income to the inequality increases year by year. Transfer payments did not become an effective means to narrow the income gap. Finally, the paper based VECM model studied the long - term dynamics relationship between the dependency ratio and farmers＇ wage income, partly explains the reason of huge difference in wage income.
