Overview

Empirical study demonstrates that factor mobility narrows income inequality in urban and rural areas, suggesting effective reforms.

Key Points

  • The aim is to analyze how factor mobility impacts income inequality between urban and rural areas in China.
  • Conducted an empirical analysis of income effects from factor mobility in different regions of China.
  • Examined regional heterogeneity in the impacts of factor mobility on income growth.
  • Investigated the role of urban-rural dualistic economic structure as a mediator.
  • Analyzed the threshold effect of land transfer rates on income effects.
  • Urban-rural factor mobility contributes to income growth and reduces income inequality.
  • Income-enhancing effects are more significant in eastern China compared to western regions.
  • Higher industrial structure upgrading correlates with a weaker gap-reducing effect.
  • Land transfer rate increases lead to a marginally increasing income-boosting effect.
