“…Apart from these multi-country studies, a few studies have focused on single-country experiences. For example, Chen et al (2006) argue that the rural-urban income disparity in China may be explained by the development of financial intermediaries. Furthermore, Liang (2006a) finds a linear and negative relationship between income inequality and finance for urban China and rules out the possibility of inverted Ushaped relationship.…”

“…In addition, industries such as culture, education, science, and health are mainly concentrated in urban areas, so the increase in the proportion of expenditures in these industries will widen the income gap between urban and rural areas. Y. P. Chen et al (2010) confirmed that the urban-rural income gap in the early stage of reform could be explained by fiscal policy, which also highlights the role of fiscal policy in urban-rural income inequality. A good fiscal policy is considered to be helpful in reducing the income gap between urban and rural areas.…”

“…There are two main views on the relationship between urbanization and the urban-rural income gap: One view is that urbanization widens the urban-rural income gap (Y. P. Chen et al, 2010;Wan et al, 2006) and the other is that urbanization narrows it and even contributes to the eventual equality between urban and rural areas (Lucas, 2004;Todaro, 1969). From the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, the urban-rural gap in China declined, but since that time, it has grown considerably (Wan et al, 2006).…”

This research uses satellite remote sensing data to measure the urban spatial form and analyzes the impact of changes to urban spatial structure on the income gap between urban and rural residents. The results indicate that the compactness of the urban spatial form is positively correlated with the income gap between urban and rural residents. However, there is no statistically significant relationship between the urban spatial extension rate and the urban–rural income gap. A subsequent analysis of the control variables shows that fiscal policy is positively correlated while urbanization is negatively correlated with the income gap between urban and rural residents. These conclusions provide the basis for formulating policies to narrow the urban–rural income gap. Appropriately reducing the spatial compactness of cities can narrow the income gap. In addition, changing excessive preferences for urban fiscal policy and increasing the level of urbanization can also promote a reduction in the income gap between urban and rural residents.

“…This figure is less than one-third of the average income in urban areas [7]. In China's case, poverty reduction is closely related to the income inequality created by the rapid growth of urban areas over the last 20 years [8].…”

The Impact of Soil and Water Conservation on Agricultural Economic Growth and Rural Poverty Reduction in China

There is a lack of systematic study on the impact of soil and water conservation on the sustainable development of agricultural economies and rural poverty reduction in China. This study investigates the effects of soil and water conservation on agricultural economic growth. It looks at levels of disposable income in rural households in China and uses the econometric method to examine panel data obtained from 30 provinces between 2003-2012. Agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) is the dependent variable, and soil and water conservation are the independent variables. Farmland area, along with four other variables, is the control variables that are used to establish the Cobb-Douglas production function and provide further data. It was found that soil and water conservation have a significant impact on the per capita income of rural households in China. The findings support that soil and water conservation can contribute to the agricultural economic growth and rural poverty reduction in China. There is evidence that supports the idea that soil quality and capital input are now more important in poverty reduction and economic growth than farmland area and agricultural labour. The government and farmers need to prioritise investment in soil and water conservation in order to promote the development of agricultural economies and reduce rural poverty.
