摘要:: 基于2002-2013年福建省城镇化率与城乡收入差距的数据，采用协整检验、Granger因果检验及最小二乘法等分析了福建省城镇化对城乡收入差距的影响。研究结果显示：城镇化率是以泰尔指数测度的城乡收入差距的原因；随着福建省城镇化水平的提高，城乡收入差距出现了先恶化后改善的倒“U”型趋势。结果也表明了城镇化和城乡收入差距之间存在长期稳定的协整关系，城乡收入差距不可能随着城镇化发展自动缩小。

Abstract:: Based on the data of urbanization and urban -rural income gap from 2002-2013 in Fujian Province, this paper analyzes the influence of urbanization on the income gap between urban and rural areas by applying the methods of co-integration test, Granger test and least-squares regression. The results reveal that urbanization was the cause of the urban-rural income gap measured by the Theil index. With the increasing urbanization rate in Fujian Province, the income gap between urban and rural areas showed the inverted U-shaped tendency of widening before narrowing. The results also show that there was a long-term stable co-integration relationship between the level of urbanization and urban-rural income gap. Therefore, with further urbanization, urban-rural income gap is not possible to be narrowed automatically.
