农村基础设施对收入不平等的影响研究——基于中西部5省218个村庄调查
The influences of rural infrastructure on income inequality: Based on a survey data of 218 villages in 5 provinces in mid-western China
摘要
Abstract
China's income inequality problem is not only reflected on the income gap between urban and rural areas, but also reflected in the income inequality within rural areas, which has a more direct influence on the harmony and stability of rural society. Based on a survey data of 218 villages in 5 provinces (province-level municipality) in mid-west China of 2009, 2011 and 2013, this paper analyses the relationship between rural infrastructure and income inequality and explores the corresponding impact mechanism. Results show that the overall Gini coefficient of mid-west rural areas is 0.38, which is approaching the international warning line of income distribution. Research also finds that the popularizing rates of water, electricity, market and especially roads increase gradually. Rural road facilities can significantly alleviate rural income inequality, and the spatial econometric analysis verifies the robustness of the results. In addition, results of further studies show that rural road construction have significant influences on income distribution in middle-income areas, but not significant in low and high income areas. From the operational mechanism perspective, the overall income level of rural areas and the increasing share of farming income are the main channels for the influences coming from rural road construction, with larger impacts from the overall income level. Therefore, for the current stage of mid-western rural areas where infrastructure construction is still relatively weak, increasing infrastructure construction investment, especially rural road construction is an effective countermeasure to increase the income of rural residents and to improve the situation of rural income distribution.关键词
