Micro Level

This micro level study, conducted in the Southern Karnataka to examine the sources of income and pattern of household expenditure, revealed that farm activities are the main sources of income in both progressive and less progressive areas and non-farm and off-farm activity (mainly agricultural labour) contributes only a negligible portion. The smallholders as well as rainfed households during the slack agricultural season depend on rural non-farm activities through non- agricultural labour as the source of earning in progressive area where as in less progressive area, all the categories of farmers had their non-farm income earned majorly from house rent. Percentage of spending on various items varied with category of farmers. With the increase in income, there was increase in expenditure on non-food items, which was observed in both areas. Inequality in income distribution was less than consumption expenditure due to unequal non-food consumption expenditures in both areas. There was a relatively higher income and expenditure inequality has observed in less progressive area compared to progressive area. Overall, it was evident from the results that, even though farm income contribution was more in both areas, still improving off and non-farm employment opportunities that adds to income and helps for further savings.

This paper first sorts out the existing research results between economic growth and income distribution; further, through macro data from the export-oriented mechanism of labor-intensive products, the capital owner’s interest-biased distribution mechanism, urban-rural dual structure and department Interrevenue distribution and other aspects explore the difference in income distribution between factors and its relationship with economic growth. Secondly, this paper analyzes the internal relationship between the income distribution structure and the construction of modern economic system from efficiency mechanism, fair mechanism and coordination mechanism. Finally, combined with the actual situation of China’s economic growth, give the policy recommendations of optimizing the income distribution structure are proposed to promote the construction of modern economic system.

A Share

Boosting consumption has been a policy strategy for rebalancing the Chinese economy. The official statistics, however, show persistently declining consumption as a share of GDP during the past decade. In this paper, we provide a more complete picture of Chinese consumption by piecing together data from official and unofficial sources. Our estimations suggest that the consumption share rebounded from 2008, after a period of decline. This may provide the first piece of evidence that the rebalancing of the Chinese economy is already under way as a result of changes in factor markets, especially rapid increase in labor income, that have resulted in increases in household income as a share of GDP and improvement in income distribution across households.

On Farm

Abstract Does farmland zoning affect farm income, and why? This study addresses these questions using a case study in Taiwan. We use a unique farmland-level dataset and apply the regression discontinuity design to quantify the effects of zoning on farm income. We find that the zoning program decreases farm income. The programme effects are heterogeneous, as they are more pronounced for farms in the higher percentiles of the farm income distribution. Moreover, a larger effect is found for elderly farm operators. Concerning the mechanism, we argue that the zoning program generated an optional benefit or wealth effect for eligible farms. This wealth effect then reallocates family labour to off-farm jobs. Consequently, the zoning program reduces income from farming.

Abstract This study examines the long-run determinants of the income distribution between capital and labor in the Korean market, a leading emerging market. We develop a model of a special type of oligopolistic market, controlled by a group of dominant firms, and a general oligopolistic market, with heterogeneously sized firms. This model provides empirically testable implications related to the long-run determinants of the income distribution. Using two measures of the degree of market concentration, the k-firm concentration ratio (CRk) and the Hirschman–Herfindahl index (HHI), we find a negative association between these concentration measures (CRk and HHI) and the labor income share. In addition, analyzing a unique dataset of manufacturing firms based on five- and three-digit Korean Standard Industry Classifications from 2000 to 2011, we find a significantly negative relationship between the labor income share and the market concentration, which is consistent with the implications of the model. Overall, our results suggest that building a more competitive product market environment could alleviate national income inequality.

The Impact

This paper estimates the impact of Familias en Acción, the largest Colombian conditional cash transfer program, on household income. It uses a Quantile Regression methodology and Difference-in-Difference estimators to capture the impact of the program on household income at different quantiles of the income distribution. The estimations show that the program has a positive impact on household income, and that this impact is larger for the households at the lower quantiles of the income distribution. Additional analyses examine whether these results stem from changes in labor market participation or increases in non-labor income. There is some indication that for program participants there was a decrease in labor income, while there was an increase in subsidies or non-labor income. Implications of these findings for conditional cash transfer programs are discussed.
