Abstract

In accessing inequality all over the world, recent research by Fischer has found an interesting result: without regard to population size, incomes in poor countries grew slower than incomes in rich countries, implying that the poor are falling behind and that cross-country inequality is getting worse. However a population weighted analysis indicates that the poor are growing faster, which implies both catch-up and narrowing inequality. An attempt is made in this paper to examine whether the same pattern of inequality applies to the case of provincial comparison in China. Our finding shows, even after taking into consideration of population and using the improved accessing method, we find no evidence of less inequality across all the people.
