经济增长、收入差距与农村贫困

我国经济转型过程中同时发生的居民收入增长和收入差距扩大对农村贫困减缓具有不同的影响。本文在住户调查数据的基础上,讨论了不同时期经济增长和收入差距对于农村贫困减缓的作用大小,估算了不同年份经济增长和收入差距的贫困减缓弹性,并根据Shapley分解讨论了分项收入对贫困程度的影响以及分项收入不均等性的贫困减缓弹性。

Economic Growth,Inequality and Poverty in Rural China

Economic growth and inequality increasing are two stylized facts in rural China during economic transition, which play opposite roles in poverty reduction. Based on household surveys conducted by CHIPs in 1988, 1995, 2002, and 2007, this paper discusses the economic growth effect and inequality effect in poverty reduction, estimates the elasticity of economic growth and inequality to poverty reduction. Additionally, by applying Shapley decomposition, the paper also discusses the effects of various income components in poverty reduction determination and the elasticity of inequality to poverty reduction by income components.
