Export elasticity to real exchange rate and urban-rural income inequality in China.

January 2012 (has links)
本文主要研究實際匯率出口彈性對中國貧富懸殊的影響。我們使用了二十八個省份從1995年至2008年的數據。結果顯示實際匯率出口彈性愈高的省份其城鄉收入差距就會愈廣。另外,我們使用了各省的加工出口比例作為實際匯率出口彈性的工具變量。 / 本文主要的貢獻在於分別地考慮出口數量和出口的商品種類來研究開放度對貧富懸殊的關係。在分開了出口數量和出口商品的種類對貧富懸殊的影響後,我們發現數據中呈現的中國對外開放度和貧富懸殊的正向關係,是基於出口商品的種類改變,而非如以前的文獻所說,是基於出口量的增長。因此,要決定一個省份的城鄉收入差距,該省份生產甚麼比其生產數量更重要。 / This paper investigates the effect of export elasticity to real exchange rate and on urban-rural income disparity in China. We use annual data from 28 provinces from 1995 to 2008. The main finding is that provinces producing more elastic exported goods would have a higher urban-rural income inequality. We also construct the processing export ratio as an instrumental variable for the elasticity terms. / One main contribution of this paper is to consider separately the effect of export value and the composition of exports when we examine the relationship between openness and income inequality. After separating the effect of export value and the composition of exports, we find that the positive relationship between openness and income inequality mentioned in previous literature is caused by a change in export composition, rather than in export value. Hence, what the provinces produce matters much more than how much they produce when we determine urban-rural income inequality. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Chan, Ying Tung. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 32-34). / Abstracts also in Chinese. / ABSTRACT --- p.II / 摘要 --- p.III / ACKNOWLEDGMENTS --- p.IV / Chapter 1 --- INTRODUCTION --- p.1 / Chapter 1.1 --- OPENNESS AND INEQUALITY --- p.1 / Chapter 1.2 --- COMPOSITION OF INCOME INEQUALITY IN CHINA --- p.2 / Chapter 2 --- LITERATURE REVIEWS --- p.4 / Chapter 2.1 --- LITERATURE ON THE CAUSE OF INCOME INEQUALITY IN CHINA --- p.4 / Chapter 2.2 --- LITERATURE ON THE EFFECT OF OPENNESS ON INCOME INEQUALITY IN CHINA --- p.6 / Chapter 2.3 --- LITERATURE ON THE COMPOSITION OF EXPORTS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN CHINA --- p.9 / Chapter 3 --- DATA --- p.11 / Chapter 4 --- REGRESSION MODEL --- p.12 / Chapter 4.1 --- REGRESSION RESULT (WITHOUT THE ELASTICITY TERM) --- p.15 / Chapter 4.2 --- ROLLING REGRESSION FOR ESTIMATING THE ELASTICITY TERMS --- p.17 / Chapter 4.3 --- REGRESSION RESULT OF REGRESSION (1) --- p.19 / Chapter 4.4 --- INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLE FOR THE ELASTICITY TERM --- p.20 / Chapter 4.5 --- REGRESSION RESULT AFTER USING TWO-STAGE LEAST SQUARE (2SLS) --- p.23 / Chapter 5 --- DISCUSSION --- p.24 / Chapter 6 --- CONCLUSION --- p.29 / REFERENCES --- p.32

Three essays in international economics

Malek Mansour, Jeoffrey H.G. 25 January 2006 (has links)
This thesis consists in a collection of research works dealing with various aspects of International Economics. More precisely, we focus on three main themes: (i) the existence of a world business cycle and the implications thereof, (ii) the likelihood of asymmetric shocks in the Euro Zone resulting from fluctuations in the euro exchange rate because of differences in sector specialization patterns and some consequences of such shocks, and (iii) the relationship between trade openness and growth influence of the sector specialization structure on that relationship.<p><p>Regarding the approach pursued to tackle these problems, we have chosen to strictly remain within the boundaries of empirical (macro)economics - that is, applied econometrics. Though we systematically provide theoretical models to back up our empirical approach, our only real concern is to look at the stories the data can (or cannot) tell us. As to the econometric methodology, we will restrict ourselves to the use of panel data analysis. The large spectrum of techniques available within the panel framework allows us to utilize, for each of the problems at hand, the most suitable approach (or what we think it is). / Doctorat en sciences économiques, Orientation économie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
