Prediction and Analysis of Chinese Rural Households' Consumption Level Based on the ARIMA Model

By using the software SAS9.2 and the relevant data of consumption level of rural residents in China from 1952 to 2008,the ARIMA model is established.The model is used to analyze and forecast the time series of the consumption level of Chinese rural residents.The results show that in the near future,the consumption level of Chinese rural residents will be further raised.In 2012,the level will break through per capita 5 000 yuan,almost 100 times more than that in the primary time period.But consumption level does not equal to living standard.To let farmers lead a good life,the government should follow the objective laws;take the overall situation into consideration;coordinate the relations among farmers' consumption level,national subsidies and farmers' production enthusiasm.Therefore,The paper suggests that the historical and objective factors should be attached more importance to.Besides,raising farmers' income and allaying farmers' fear were effective measures in developing the consumptive potential of rural market and promoting the economic sustainable development.

基于ARIMA模型的我国农村居民消费水平预测分析

依据19522008年我国农村居民消费水平相关数据,应用软件SAS9.2构造ARIMA模型,对我国农村居民消费水平进行时间序列分析和短期预测。结果表明,未来一段时间我国农村居民消费水平将进一步快速提高,2012年将突破人均5 000元,几乎是建国初期的100倍,但消费水平不等于生活水平,要让农民过上实在的好日子,必须遵循客观规律,统筹兼顾,协调农民消费水平与国家补贴、农民生产积极性等关系。为此,提出要充分考虑历史因素和遵循客观规律,提高农民收入,消除农民顾虑,发掘农村市场消费潜力,促进我国经济可持续发展。
