摘要
关于中国的消费率高低的争论由来已久,很多文献提出通过收入分配手段提高中国消费率的构想,但是直到目前,理论上关于收入差距、消费倾向与消费率之间的相互作用机制仍不清楚。鉴于此,本文使用格兰杰因果检验方法对收入差距和平均消费倾向之间的因果性进行了检验。结果表明二者之间不存在显著的因果性,从而从实证上回答了收入差距与消费率的关系问题。
The argument on Chinese consumption-GDP ratio had lasted for a long time. Many papers claimed that decreasing income gap would benefit to increase the consumption-GDP ratio. This viewpoint was beyond the insight of the existing theories. The relationship among income gap, propensity to con- sume and consumption-GDP ratio, however, remained a puzzle. This paper tested the relationship between income gap and APC by using Granger casualty test. The results showed the casualty was insignificant. This paper provided empirical evidence to the relationship between income gap and eonsumption-GDP ratio. It implied that income gap had not direct effect on Chinese consumption-GDP ratio.
