An Empirical Analysis of Income Difference of Rural Areas and its Geographical Features in China
Since Kuznets proposed his empirical Inverted-U Hypothesis in 1955, persistentefforts have been made in the in-depth research on the long-term evolution of incomedistribution. The reason is that income level is a measure of distribution equality as well asa means to know the contribution made by economic growth to the improvements of livingstandards. In the market economy,inequality is certainly unavoidable if income distributionis determined by the market mechanism. But if such inequality widens in Chinas ruralareas, it is undoubtedly the result of institutional changes,the deviation in the fulfillmentand development of economic policies and the serious problems in the current policies ofincome distribution.
