贸易自由化对中国农村贫困的影响

Trade Liberalization and Poverty in Rural China

利用2001~2011年中国省际面板数据,实证检验了入世以后贸易自由化对中国整体和不同地区农村贫困发生率、深度、强度三重维度的影响。研究结果表明:全国范围内,贸易自由化程度的提高能有效降低农村贫困发生率,但却使农村贫困深度、贫困强度上升。分地区而言,随着贸易自由化程度的提高,内陆地区农村贫困发生率显著降低,沿海地区农村贫困发生率无显著变化;内陆和沿海地区的贫困深度、强度均显著上升,且这一效应在沿海地区更为明显。

Based on the panel data of China's provinces from 2001 to 2011,this paper examines the effect of trade liberalization measures on poverty incidence,poverty depth and poverty severity in total and different areas of rural China.The empirical results show that trade liberalization will decrease the poverty incidence but increase the poverty depth and poverty severity nationwide.With the increase of trade liberalization,the poverty incidence in inland areas will obviously be reduced,while there is no significant variation in coastal areas;the poverty depth and severity in coastal areas will rise more obviously than in inland areas.
