| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study, using nationally representative household surveys, investigates the long-term trends in the household income inequality in reform-era China. The main fact findings are as follows. (1) Income inequality in China had slightly decreased from between 2007 and 2013, after the rapid inequality increase process from the beginning of the economic reform. (2) Favorable changes in the two different types of regional inequality, urban-rural inequality and coastal-inland disparity, contributed the overall decrease in inequality. (3) The decrease in inequality are caused by the shift in the focus of public policy from coastal, urban regions to inland, rural regions as well as factors related to economic development such as the huge rural-urban migration and the spatial distribution in firm investments.
