由于收入不稳定性的存在,农村居民不同来源的收入具有不同的边际消费倾向。因此,研究不同来源的收入对农村居民消费的影响,对于了解农民的消费行为,进而制定相关增收、扩需政策具有十分重要的经济意义。基于1998—2013年的省际面板数据研究了我国东、中、西部各地区农民生活消费支出与其收入结构的关系。结果表明,在总体上,工资性收入和经营性收入仍是影响我国农村居民消费的主要收入来源;而在不同地区,不同来源收入对农村居民消费支出的影响存在较大的差异。
Due to the instability of income, the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of different sources of incomes is different in the rural residents. Therefore, studying the impact of income structure on rural consumption is very helpful for understanding their consumption behaviors, which also has a great economic significance on improving their income level and expanding consumer demand. Based on the provincial panel data during 1998 -2013 ,the paper makes an empirical study on the relation between the rural consumption and income among east, middle and west regiona. It shows that the incomes from wages and operating are still the most important factors on rural consumption, but also, there are significant differences of the effect of incomes from different sources on rural consumption in different regions.
