摘要: 概述中国城乡收入差距及农村教育的状况, 揭示目前中国城乡收入差距较大的现状, 以2004—2016年我国31个省级面板数据为研究对象, 采用随机效应的分析方法, 进一步研究农户教育投资对城乡收入差距的影响。结果表明, 农户教育投资是城乡收入差距的重要影响因素, 增加农户教育投资会缩小城乡收入差距, 而且农户教育投资对城乡收入差距的影响存在一定的滞后性, 并在长期是显著的。基于研究结论, 从政府和农户两方面提出了相应的政策建议。Abstract: This paper summarizes the urban-rural income gap and the status of rural education in China, and reveals the current situation of the large urban-rural income gap. Taking the panel data of 31 provinces from 2004 to 2016, the paper further studies the impact of farmers' educational investment on the urban-rural income gap by using the random effect models. The results show that farmers' educational investment is an important factor affecting the urban-rural income gap. In addition, increasing the farmers' educational investment can narrow the urban-rural income gap. Although such impact has lagging effects, it will be highlighted in the long run. Based on the research findings, this paper puts forward recommendations from the government and farmers' perspectives.
