中國의 地域間 都市不平等의 趨勢와 要因分析

초록

This paper examines the trend and source of the inter-provincial urban imcome inequality in China during the 1990s. We use official urban households income survey data collected by the Urban Households Survcy Unit of the National Statistical Bureau of China. The analysis shows that the inter-provincial urban income inequality in China increased during the 1990s. However, when we devide the 1990s into two periods, the first half of 1990s(1990-1995) and the second half of 1990s(1995-1999), we find that the inter-provincial urban income inequality in the first half of the 1990s has increased, but in the second half of 1990s the inter-provincal urban income inequality has not increased. The result shows that the inter-provincial urban inequality has worsened for all of the components of disposable income in the first half of 1990s. Compared to the first half of 1990s, however, the inter-provincial ruban inequality has not worwened in the last half of 1990s except for the state-owned and collective-owned unis's wages and bonuses. We also find that the state-owned unit's wage and bonus as well as the tuansfer income played major role in explaining the inter-provincial urban income inequality. The contribution to the inter-provincial urban income inequality from these three major sources became larger in the second half of 1990s than in the first half of 1990s.
