This paper builds urban-rural inequality model according to the characteristic fact of urban-rural production function difference,by using the data from 1997 to 2009 we study the influence of urban-rural ratio of labor、fixed capital、human capital,agricultural intermediate goods、industrialization and scale of tertiary industry on urban-rural income inequality.Econometric results exhibit that differences of factor productivity and distribution play decisive role on urban-rual income inequality;Increase of ratio of labor is apparently helpful for narrowing income gap,insteadly,ratio of human capital、physical capital、agricultural costs and correlation of neighboring regions all broaden this inequality.Methods for narrow urban-rural income inequality lie in that fastening urbanization of rural labors、increasing rurally educational inputs、improving agricultural productivity and increasing rural inputs of physical capitals,in addition,effort of each province to narrow income inequality have positive impacts on neighboring regions also.
