Outline of Final Research Achievements

We estimated the polarization indices of income distributions for the period from 2002 to 2009 by using the microdata of Urban Household Survey in China. It was found that the progression of polarization is not so severe for this period. Also, it is shown that income inequality has positive effects on economic growth, but polarization has negative effects. And, although there is a positive correlation between innovation and inequality in the region, the polarization is negatively correlated with innovation. Furthermore, obstacles to firm management due to crime is a negatively correlated with inequality in the region, but positively correlated with polarization.
