Economic growth, income inequality and poverty in china under economic reforms
利用二手数据和住户调查数据，评估1978-1996年中国经济增长、收入不平等与贫困的关系，发现城乡差距和空间不平等是总体收入不平等的主因，贫困发生率对人均收入和收入不平等变化非常敏感。
China's gross domestic product (GDP) more than quadrupled between 1978 and 1996 under economic reforms. Per capita disposable incomes more than tripled in the cities and almost quadrupled in the rural areas. However, rapid economic growth brought about large income inequality which slowed down poverty reduction. In 1995, there were still 70–170 million people living in poverty. This article aims to assess the relationship between economic growth, income inequality and poverty using both secondary and household survey data. The main findings are (1) urban/rural divide and spatial inequality are two major factors accounting for overall income inequality; (2) non‐wage and non‐farm incomes are more unequally distributed than wage and farm incomes; and (3) the incidence of poverty is very sensitive to the changes in per capita income and inequality.
