Abstract

Using a nonlinear threshold regression model, the paper empirically studied regional difference in relationship between financial development and urban–rural income gap based on Chinese provincial panel data from 1993 to 2011. The result indicates the nonlinear relationships existed in east, middle, and west regions of China. Besides, financial development narrowed urban–rural income gap initially and then widen the gap after a certain financial development level. These relationships were different regionally.
