The Statistical Analysis on the Influent Factors of Rich-poor Gap in China

Abstract

With the economic developing, the rich-poor gap is increasingly prominent, which will cause social instability, and hinder the pace of social modernization [1]. The main reasons of rich-poor gap are related macroeconomic indicators, uneven policy and unbalanced regional development [2]. So narrowing the gap between rich and poor has become the focus of the society. In this paper, based on the data in 1995- 2014, we use factor analysis method and Cointegration test to determine the existence of Long-term equilibrium relationship between Gini coefficient and influent factors. In the end, we provide some reasonable suggestions.
