CHINA’S INCOME DISTRIBUTION AND TRADE

ARTICLE 1, CHINA’S INCOME INEQUALITY China’s per capita GDP was 228.7 dollars in 1978. After economic reform 1978, China’s economy has been keeping booming growth. By 2015, China’s per capita GDP increased to 8068.0 dollars. Meanwhile, China’s income inequality has been growing rapidly. China’s Gini Coefficient was around 0.30 in 1978, and has been over 0.40 the international alertness line since 2000, and then hit the peak 0.49 in 2009. Recent years, it has been decreasing, and went down to 0.46 in 2015. It shows that China’s inequality has been being at the edge of a cliff. This paper reviewed the China’s income inequality since 1978. This paper analyzed the China’s income inequality at the different level (National, urban-rural and regional) by methodology of literature review. Based on the previous studies, this paper concludes that China’s inequality is made by a series of policies which derived from development strategy and unavoidable process during transition period from Command economy to socialist market economy. To the end, this paper discussed the income inequality would decrease in the future considering to the economics theories and the China’s strategy. KEY WORDS: CHINA, INCOME INEQUALITY ARTICLE 2, INCOME INEQUALITY AND IMPORT-EXPORT TRADE OF CHINA After economic reform 1978, China’s economy has been keeping booming growth. Meanwhile, China’s income inequality has been growing rapidly. China’s Gini Coefficient was around 0.30 in 1978, and has been over 0.40 the international alertness line since 2000, and then hit the peak 0.49 in 2009. Recent years, it has been decreasing, and went down to 0.46 in 2015. It shows a reversed U shape curve. Meanwhile, the China’s import and export has been increasing remarkably and goes J shape. Considering Kuznets hypothesis, it seems that there is a relationship between China’s Gini Coefficient and value of import and export. This paper analyzed the impact of income inequality on import-export by panel data regression model. This paper took the provincial data from 2000 to 2012. The results indicate that at provincial level, China’s income inequality restrains the growth of import-export.

If counting the urban population, the poverty population there should be more than that in China in 1978. With the same report, it is said that there were 55.75 million people in rural area under the poverty line 2855 yuan (458.38 dollars). China has made great achievement on poverty alleviation. Meanwhile, China’s import and export have been increasing to the second larger trade country from a very level. This paper assumes that the multidimensional poverty restrains to access import-export. This paper models the multidimensional poverty of provinces in China based multidimensional poverty index, then calculates the multidimensional poverty by fuzzy set, and analyses the impact of multidimensional poverty on import-export at the end. This paper concludes that the multidimensional poverty province accesses to import-export difficultly. KEY WORDS: FUZZY SET, MULTIDIMENSIONAL POVERTY, CHINA, PROVINCIAL LEVEL, IMPORT AND EXPORT
