经济增长对收入分配的影响——来自中国的实践验证

经济增长对收入分配会产生何种影响,一直是经济学中相当重要的问题。围绕着库兹涅茨倒U假说的研究表明,经济结构在解释经济增长与收入分配的相互关系时有重要的作用。本文建立了一系列模型用来解释中国近二十年来的经济增长是如何影响收入分配的,并采用1990-2005年中国经济的相关数据对该模型进行验证,表明了经济增长本身会在两个方面对收入分配产生影响,最终的作用是扩大了收入差距还是缩小了收入差距取决于经济结构的变动,其中城乡二元结构的变动起到了至关重要的作用。

The Impact of Economic Growth on Income Distribution——From the Practice in China
