城镇化对城乡居民收入差距影响的区域差异性分析

Regional Difference Analysis of the Impact of Urbanization on the Income Gap between Urban and Rural Residents

运用2005—2014年我国30个省级面板数据,基于随机效应模型和固定效应模型,分别在全国范围及东、中、西部三个区域分析城镇化对城乡居民收入差距的影响。研究结果表明:就全国而言,城镇化有利于缩小城乡居民收入差距。但由于各地区的经济发展水平、自然条件、资源禀赋等因素的差异,城镇化对城乡居民收入差距的影响存在区域差异性。回归结果发现:在东部地区,城镇化对城乡居民收入差距的影响不显著,而在中西部地区,城镇化能够显著地缩小城乡居民收入差距。为此,提出因地制宜推进新型城镇化、深化收入分配制度、加大农村教育投入、完善农村金融服务体系等措施,以期缩小城乡居民收入差距。

This article uses 30 provincial panel data of China from 2005-2014 to analyze the impact of urbanization on the income gap between urban and rural residents in the national scope and the eastern,central and western regions based on random-effect model and fixed-effect models.The results prove that： as far as the whole nation is concerned,urbanization is conducive to narrowing residents＇ income gap. However,due to differences in economic development,natural conditions,endowment of resources and so on in different regions,there are regional differences in terms of the impact of urbanization on the income gap between urban and rural residents. The regression results show that,in the eastern areas,the influence of urbanization on the urban and rural residents＇ income gap is non-significant. While in the Midwestern areas,the urbanization can significantly reduce the income gap between urban and rural residents. Thus,the article puts forward some measures,such as promoting new urbanization,deepening income distribution system,increasing investment in rural education and improving the rural financial service system,to narrow the income gap between urban and rural residents.
