本文选取2000-2009年间我国31个省、直辖市和自治区的面板数据,通过选择恰当的空间面板计量模型(Spatial Panel Model)实证研究本地城市化进程对城乡收入差距的直接影响,以及相邻地区城市化进程对本地城乡收入差距的空间溢出效应。实证结果表明:我国城市化进程对缩减城乡收入差距的积极影响和消极影响并存,取决于城市化进程的不同政策路径选择;省际间的城市化进程存在空间溢出效应,即本地的城乡收入差距也会受到临近省份城市化进程的显著影响。
This paper is aiming at estimating two kinds o{ effects on the urban- rural income inequality during the process of urbanization, direct effects from the local area, and spatial spillover effects from its closest neighborhoods, using the provincial data from China in the period of 2000-2009. The most appropriate mod- el is chosen from a group of spatial panel models based on the specific data charac- teristics. At last, the paper comes to some conclusions as follows: the urbanization has both positively and negatively facilitated the shrink of income inequality, depen- ding on the different of policies; and the spatial spillover effects do exist from other adjacent provinces, that is to say, the local income inequality will be significantly influenced by the neighborhoods~ urbanization.
