金融发展对城乡收入差距的影响——基于河北省地级市面板数据的实证分析

The Impact of Financial Development on Urban-Rural Income Gap——An Empirical Analysis Based on Panel Data of Prefecture-Level Cities in Hebei Province

城乡收入差距对构建和谐社会有着重要影响,党的十九大报告明确提出,要把缩小收入分配差距作为未来工作的一个重点。金融发展是影响城乡收入差距的一个重要因素,通过对河北省11个地级市2003~2017年的面板数据进行分析,结果表明,河北省金融发展水平的提高,无论是金融发展规模的扩大还是金融发展效率的提高,都显著缩小了城乡收入差距。此外,人均地区生产总值和外商直接投资的增加对城乡收入差距的缩小起到了促进作用,而贸易开放度和产业结构的升级则显著拉大了城乡收入差距。

The urban-rural income gap has an important impact on the construction of a harmonious society.The report of the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that narrowing the income distribution gap should be the focus of future work. Financial development is an important factor which affects the urban-rural income gap. Through the analysis of the panel data of 11 prefecture-level cities in Hebei Province from 2003 to 2017, the results show that the improvement of financial development in Hebei Province, whether the expansion of financial development scale or the improvement of financial development efficiency, have significantly narrowed the income gap between urban and rural areas. In addition, the increase of per capita GDP and FDI have promoted the narrowing of the urban-rural income gap, while the trade openness and the upgrading of industrial structure have significantly widened the urban-rural income gap.
