متن يادداشت
A long standing debate among academics and policy-makers concerns whether globalization leads to a higher degree of inequality. In this regard, China has attracted particular attention. In contrast to the existing literature that has concentrated on either overall inequality or coastal-inland regional inequality in China, this paper analyzes the impact of foreign trade and foreign direct investment on urban-rural income inequality. The key hypothesis is that if openness to foreign trade and foreign direct investment increases, then urban-rural income inequality will also increase. The paper examines the relationships empirically using panel data in both random-effects and fixed-effects models, for 31 provinces in China over the period 1978-2008. The study measures globalization as both the trade-to-GRP ratio and the FDI-to-GRP ratio, and urban-rural inequality as the urban-rural income ratio. Findings indicate that the urban-rural income gap has been widening since China began to integrate into the world economy, but globalization is not the principal reason for the increase. The study finds no significant relationship between foreign trade and urban-rural income inequality in China. In fact, findings indicate that foreign direct investment has actually helped to reduce inequality.
