好的制度一定能够改善收入分配状况吗——基于我国27个省份截面数据的实证研究

Must the Gap of Income Distribution be Narrowed under a Good Institution?——Empirical Study Based on Cross Section Data from 27 Provinces of China

论文在Tebaldi和Mohana所提供的研究框架的基础上,结合我国国情构建了一个对其进行修正后的模型,运用全国27个省级截面数据作了实证分析。研究结论表明,制度质量与基尼系数是负相关的,它可以在很大程度上解释省际收入分配差距上的巨大差异。其政策含义是:立足于缩小收入分配差距的政府政策应该首先考虑改善制度质量。

Reviewing the theoretical research framework from Tebaldi ＆ Mohana,We put forward a revised model suitable for China in this paper. Based on Empirical Study with Cross Section Data from 27 Provinces of China,We reach an unprecedented conclusion that the correlation coefficient between institutional quali- ty and Gini Coefficient is negative,which can explain the reasons to？ a？ great？ extent for the vast inter-- provincial gap of income distribution. Finally our policy implication is that any government policy intented to narrow the gap of income distribution firstly should focus on improve the quality of institutions nowa- days in China.
