the opening of the north south divide cumulative causation household Income Disparity and the regional bonus in taiwan 1976 2005
Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, 2012Co-Authors: Martin Andersson, Martin KlinthallAbstract:During the last decades regional Income divergence seems to have reappeared in both developed and developing countries. In Taiwan – a renowned case of growth with equity – regional per capita Income was converging until the early 1990s after which it began to diverge. With the help of modeled annual household survey data from 1976 to 2005 we indicate the magnitude of a regional bonus and discuss reasons behind the re-opening of the North–South Income divide in Taiwan. Our analysis suggests that this process is a consequence of cumulative causation connected to the advent of the rise of ICT industry in conjunction with changes in Taiwan's political economy which provided relatively more advantageous economic opportunities for the industrial structure of the leading region.

Income Disparity and association with patient reported outcomes among adults with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the medical expenditure panel survey meps
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2020Co-Authors: Andi Shahu, Victor Okunrintemi, Martin Tibuakuu, Agarwala Anandita, Martha Gulati, Safi U Khan, Oluseye Ogunmoroti, Erica S Spatz, Erin D MichosAbstract:Income Disparity is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the relationship between Income & patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in populations with ASCVD is unclear. We used data from the nationally representative Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, 2006-2015. We

the trend of the gini coefficient of china 1978 2010
2019Co-Authors: Jiandong Chen, Wenxuan HouAbstract:This study proposes a new approach to analyse the effects of an overlap term on the calculation of the overall Gini coefficient and estimates China’s Gini ratios since the adoption of the economic reform and open-door policies. A decomposition of the Chinese Gini coefficient for 1978–2010 reveals that the key factor contributing to Income inequalities is the Income Disparity between rural and urban inhabitants. We further investigate the features of this Income inequality between rural and urban areas and employ statistical approaches to evaluate the effects of urbanisation and rural-to-urban average Income on nationwide Income inequality. The results show that accelerating the pace of urbanisation is mainly responsible for decreasing China’s Income Disparity. Drawing on these results, we conclude with suggestions for related policies.

chinese gini coefficient from 2005 to 2012 based on 20 grouped Income data sets of urban and rural residents
2015Co-Authors: Jiandong Chen, Wenxuan Hou, Fuqian Fang, Malin SongAbstract:Data insufficiency has become the primary factor affecting research on Income Disparity in China. To resolve this issue, this paper explores Chinese Income distribution and Income inequality using distribution functions. First, it examines 20 sets of grouped data on family Income between 2005 and 2012 by the China Yearbook of Household Surveys, 2013, and compares the fitting effects of eight distribution functions. The results show that the generalized beta distribution of the second kind has a high fitting to the Income distribution of urban and rural residents in China. Next, these results are used to calculate the Chinese Gini ratio, which is then compared with the findings of relevant studies. Finally, this paper discusses the influence of urbanization on Income inequality in China and suggests that accelerating urbanization can play an important role in narrowing the Income gap of Chinese residents.

a review of the chinese gini coefficient from 1978 to 2008
2009Co-Authors: Jiandong Chen, Wenxuan Hou, Shenwu JinAbstract:Based on Lewis’ dual-sector model, this paper explores a new mathematical model to evaluate Income inequality between urban and rural residents quantitatively. Using the model, this thesis indicates that as the urban population increases, the Income inequality between rural and urban residents will first rise and then fall. Further, this paper also provides a parameter to estimate current situation and forecast the future changing tendency. These findings are applied to examine Chinese rural-urban Income Disparity from 1978 to 2008 and the results show that the rise of the urban population, rather than the enlargement of the Income gap between urban and rural residents, plays the major role in the increase of the Gini ratio between rural and urban inhabitants from 1978 to 2001, whereas after 2001 the further increases in the urban population tended to narrow the urban-rural Income Disparity. Using the econometrics model, this paper also investigates the situation in each province from 2005 to 2007, to present a comprehensive picture of the divided Chinese urban-rural Income. The results indicate that the key factor determining urban-rural Disparity is the process of urbanization.

the effects of population on Income Disparity in a dual society evidence from china
Social Science Research Network, 2008Co-Authors: Jiandong Chen, Wenxuan Hou, Shenwu JinAbstract:Based on the Lewis Dual Sector model, this paper investigates how population affects Income Disparity finding that the Income Disparity increases with urban population ratio until the ratio reaches its critical level at which the Income Disparity is maximised. As urban population ratio further increases beyond the critical level, Income Disparity starts falling. By applying the models in China, we find that the changes in Income Disparity in China from 1978 to 2006 are mainly attributed to migrants from rural to urban areas rather than changes in Income ratio of urban and rural residents. As the increasing urban population ratio reaches its critical level in 2001, it starts contributing to narrowing of Income Disparity.

skill distribution and Income Disparity in a north south trade model
Canadian Journal of Economics, 2005Co-Authors: Hesham M AbdelrahmanAbstract:What are the impacts of free trade agreement on the welfare of different types of workers in a developed country? What is the impact of free trade on a developed country's Income Disparity? What is the effect of free trade on the skill distribution of a developed country? The objective of this paper is to address the above questions in a two- sector general-equilibrium North-South trade model in which both countries produce one final good and one high-tech intermediate input. The final good is produced with the use of a high-tech intermediate input and unskilled workers. Horizontally differentiated skilled workers produce the high-tech intermediate input. Each country is populated by a continuum of unskilled workers with differential potential ability. Workers in the North and South can acquire skills by investment in training or education. Thus, skill distri- bution in the North and South is determined endogenously in the model through a self- selection process. I characterize two different types of equilibria: a closed-economy equilibrium without trade and a free trade equilibrium. Then, I investigate the impact of free trade, in the presence of training costs, on the skill distribution within each

skill distribution and Income Disparity in a north south trade model
Research Papers in Economics, 2003Co-Authors: Hesham M AbdelrahmanAbstract:What are the impacts of free trade agreement on the social welfare of different groups of labor force in a developed country? What is the impact of free trade on a developed country’s Income Disparity? What is the effect of free trade on the skill distribution of a developed country? The objective of this paper is to address the above questions in a simple two-sector general-equilibrium North-South trade model in which both countries produce one final good and one high-tech intermediate input. Horizontally differentiated skilled workers produce the high-tech intermediate input. The final good is produced with the use of a high-tech intermediate input and unskilled labor. Each country is populated by a continuum of unskilled workers with differential potential ability. Workers in the North and South can acquire skill by investment in training or education. Thus, skill distribution in the North and South is determined endogenously in the model through a self-selection. I characterize two different types of equilibrium: a closed-economy equilibrium without trade and free trade equilibrium. Then, I investigate the impact of free trade, in the presence of training costs, on the skill distribution within each country, Income Disparity, and social welfare.

toward a general equilibrium theory of a core periphery system of cities
Regional Science and Urban Economics, 1995Co-Authors: Hesham M Abdelrahman, Ping WangAbstract:Abstract This paper constructs a general-equilibrium spatial model of a core-periphery system of cities, allowing for labor heterogeneity. While unskilled workers are specialized in food production in the periphery, skilled workers with heterogeneous characteristics manufacture a high-tech commodity in the core. Unskilled wages are determined competitively, whereas skilled wages are determined via a symmetric Nash bargain between high-tech firms and skilled workers. A system of local cities forms competitively, and a single metropoly emerges due to sufficiently large positive matching externalities. We show that such an equilibrium spatial configuration exists under some regularity conditions. Moreover, the determinants of Income Disparity between the core and the periphery regions are examined.
