摘要
本文以消费的边际效用递减规律为基础,探讨了居民收入差距和消费倾向间可能的关系,并对中国居民消费倾向变动趋势进行解释。本文分析表明,收入差距对消费倾向可能的影响和经济发展水平有关系,当经济发展到一定程度时,居民收入差距在一定的范围内变化不会影响消费倾向的变化,但超过一定范围后,随着收入差距变大,消费倾向变低。我们认为过大的居民收入差距是造成近年来消费倾向变低的重要原因。
This paper explores the impact of income distribution on propensity to consume and explains the characteristics of propensity to consume in China based on the law of diminishing marginal utility. The paper shows that the possible impact of income distribution gaps on propensity to consume depends on the stages of economic development. When the economy develops into advanced stage, the income distribution gaps in a limited range have no effect on propensity to consume, but beyond that the propensity to consume will decrease as the widening of income inequality. We hold that the main reason resulting in lower propensity to consume lies in the widening inequity of household income in recent years.
