本文研究目的旨在探討所得不均度對自殺率之影響，採用臺灣2004年至2010年23個縣市的追蹤資料（panel data），使用行政院主計處家庭收支調查報告之年度原始資料，計算自2004年至2010年台灣地區23縣市之吉尼係數作為所得不均度代理變數。
實證結果顯示吉尼係數對總自殺率、男性與25至44歲年齡組自殺率的效果是不顯著的正相關。本文認為，2004至2010年吉尼係數均維持在0.34左右，而且變化不大，以及樣本年度不足，可能是實證結果不顯著的原因之一。此外，由於用以計算吉尼係數之可支配所得並未納入資本利得，導致吉尼係數偏低亦可能是實證結果不顯著的另一個原因。
然而，吉尼係數對於男性自殺率及25至44歲自殺率估計係數的大小卻是值得注意，隱含這二個族群非常關注所得分配的公平性，建議政府在短期政策上可就獨厚富人之賦稅不公平現況加以改善，以達杜漸防微之效。 / This study investigates the impact of income inequality on suicide rate in Taiwan. Using panel data of 23 countries for the period 2004-2010, As a proxy for income inequality, Gini coefficients based on the Survey of Family Income and Expenditure, compiled by the Department of Government of Budget.
Empirical results show Gini coefficient has a positive but statistically insignificant effect on total, male and aged 25-44 suicide rates. This paper argues that the Gini coefficient remain around 0.34 for the period of 2004-2010 without significant change, and only 7 years of data may be part of the reason why empirical result is not significant, another reason that might cause Gini coefficient lower is one of the element "disposable income" it did not included capital gain.
However, the most noteworthy feature is the magnitude of the Gini coefficients for male and aged 45-64. In other words, these two groups are concerned on the fairness of income distribution. In order to prevent the suicide rate goes higher, government should change the unfair taxes that benefit the riches right away.
