经济体制和结构变化:基于中国收入不平等总量的实证分析

本文在考虑经济结构变化的基础上,利用LM(最小拉格朗日乘数)单位根检验方法,对我国1952-2000年间的全国基尼系数、GE、城乡基尼系数和内陆一沿海基尼系数等时间序列的数据生成过程的动态特征进行了研究.本文的研究结果表明,4个时间序列均为服从一个断点或两个断点的趋势平稳过程,结构断点出现的时间与我国经济体制改革的时间相吻合.这说明了以政府为导向的经济体制结构的改革对我国收入平等有长期持续效应.

Economic Regimes and Structural Change:Evidence From Inequality Measures From China

Based on minimum LM unit root test,we test the dynamic character of the gini coefficient,GE,rural-urban inequalities and inland-coastal inequalities.The result shows that: the total inequality measures from 1952 to 2000 are trend stationary with one structural break or two structural breaks,and the timing of breaks are reconcile with the historical events of economic regimes in china.This shows that Chinese government policies have long-lasting effects on inequality.
