Features: This book has made great efforts in obtaining data and has reviewed the latest research literature in this field from abroad, mastering the most advanced analytical methods internationally. Based on the analysis of the income gap among residents in China, this book focuses on analyzing the income status of residents in Beijing, decomposing the income gap in Beijing into the urban-rural gap, the internal urban gap, and the internal rural gap. Since the regional gap in Beijing is not significant, this book does not analyze it. To determine the proportion of each type of gap (urban-rural, internal urban, and internal rural) in the income gap of Beijing residents and to identify which gap is the main contradiction, quantitative methods are needed. For this purpose, this book conducts more detailed groupings of the internal urban and rural incomes, deeply decomposing and analyzing the explanatory variables and reasons affecting the income gap among residents, and measures and explains the extent of the explanations. On this basis, this book proposes targeted countermeasures and suggestions for alleviating the income gap among residents, hoping to contribute to promoting fair economic growth in China.
