Rural People's Perception of Income Adequacy in China
- 2012
-
In: China Agricultural Economic Review. - : Emerald. - 1756-137X. ; 4:3, s. 264-280

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose – To investigate rural people’s perception of income adequacy in order to understand how it is affected by income in the county where the respondent lives, age of household members as well as number of household members. The paper also aims to find out how poverty lines and poverty counts derived from people’s perception relate to what has been previous reported. Design/methodology/approach – The Subjective Poverty Line (SPL) methodology is modified by asking one question on the amount of grains necessary for the respondnet’s household and another on the amount of cash necessary. Information was obtained from a large survey covering 22 provinces in 2003 and analysed using regressions analysis. Findings – People in high-income counties perceive that more cash, but not grains are needed than those living in low-income counties. Respondents perceive that economies of scale exist in amounts of cash needed for a household. They also perceive that young children need less grain than adults and that a schoolchild incurs higher money expenditures than an adult. A poverty line for rural China derived by the SPL methodology is higher than the low income line used by NBS for 2002. However, a poverty count based on the SPL methodology is similar to what has been reported. Practical implications – The findings suggests that poverty lines for rural China preferably should consider not only spatial differences in cost of living but also the number of household members in a non linear way. Originality/value – This is the first application of the SPL approach to rural China.

The Urban-Rural Income Gap and Inequality in China
- 2007
-
In: Review of Income and Wealth. - 1475-4991. ; 53:1, s. 93-126
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Using new and rich data for 1995 and 2002, this study investigates the size of China’s urban-rural income gap, the contribution of that gap to overall inequality in China, and the factors underlying the gap. The analysis improves on past estimates by adjusting for spatial price differences and including migrants. Methods employed include inequality decomposition by population subgroup and the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method. Several key findings emerge. First, most estimates of China’s urban-rural income gap and its contribution to overall inequality may be substantially overstated. Second, the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition reveals that after controlling for household and individual characteristics, location of residence remains the most important factor underlying the urban-rural income gap. The only household characteristic that contributes substantially to the gap is education. Differences in the endowments of, and returns to, other household characteristics such as family size and composition, landholdings, and Party membership are relatively unimportant.
