城镇化对城乡居民收入差距的影响——以河南省为例

The Effect of Urbanization on Urban-rural Income Gap——A Case Study of Henan Province

在城镇化进程中,我国城乡居民的收入差距一直保持在较高水平。城镇化是扩大还是缩小城乡收入差距,说法不一。本文通过数据,实证分析城镇化对城乡收入差距的影响。文章首先从二元经济结构理论、人口流动理论和区位理论论述了城镇化对收入差距影响机理,其次运用河南省18个地级市2007—2016年的城镇化率和城乡收入差距的面板数据,建立计量经济学模型,分析结果显示,河南省城镇化的发展会缩小城乡收入差距,最后结合城镇化发展,提出缩小河南省城乡收入差距的政策建议。
