消费对经济增长的拉动作用研究——基于城乡消费结构的比较

消费是一个国家经济增长的源动力，是公民福利增加的源泉，如何发挥消费对经济的拉动作用已成为学术界研究的热点问题。基于城乡消费结构比较的视角，就消费对经济的拉动作用以及我国城乡居民消费结构的差异进行了研究，结果显示：消费对经济增长具有积极的拉动作用；居民收入水平较低、收入水平差距较大是我国城乡居民消费对经济增长拉动作用较小的重要原因；我国城乡居民的消费结构存在差别，主要原因在于城乡收入水平的差别，持续强劲的居民消费需要以居民的收入持续增加为基础。为此，应从提高居民收入水平、减小城乡居民收入差距、建立完善的医疗保障体系、合理的消费引导等方面来改善城乡居民的消费结构，以真正发挥消费对经济增长的促进作用。

Research on the Pulling Effect of Consumption to Economic Growth： Based on the Contrast between Urban and Rural Consumption Structure

Consumption is the origin of national economic growth and the source of the increase of civic welfare. How to make the consumption of urban and rural residents be the driving force of China＇s economic development has become a hot topic in academic research. Based on the contrastive study of consumption structure between urban and rural residents, the research is to explore the differences of consumption structure between urban and rural residents in China, and the driving role consump- tion played in economy. Studies show that consumption has positively promoted the economic growth and the low level of residents＇ income and the great income difference prevent the economic growth to some degree. The difference between urban and rural residents＇ consumption structure results from the difference between urban and rural income level. The continuous strong residents＇ consumption comes from the continuous increase of residents＇ income. So it is necessary to improve the income level of residents, to reduce the income gap between urban and rural residents, to establish a healthy medical security system and to give a reasonable consumer guide to improve urban and rural consumption structure so that the driving role consumption played in economic growth could be achieved.
