Using multiple data sources, we establish that China's income inequality since 2005 has reached very high levels, with the Gini coefficient in the range of 0.53-0.55. Analyzing comparable survey data collected in 2010 in China and the United States, we examine social determinants that help explain China's high income inequality. Our results indicate that a substantial part of China's high income inequality is due to regional disparities and the rural-urban gap. The contributions of these two structural forces are particularly strong in China, but they play a negligible role in generating the overall income inequality in the United States, where individual-level and family-level income determinants, such as family structure and race/ethnicity, play a much larger role.
利用多个数据源，我们发现中国自 2005 年以来的收入不平等程度已经达到非常高的水平，基尼系数在 0.53-0.55 之间。通过分析 2010 年在中国和美国收集的可比调查数据，我们考察了有助于解释中国高收入不平等的社会决定因素。我们的研究结果表明，中国高收入不平等的很大一部分是由于地区差异和城乡差距造成的。这两个结构性因素的贡献在中国尤为突出，但它们在美国总体收入不平等中的作用可以忽略不计，在美国，家庭结构和种族/民族等个人和家庭层面的收入决定因素发挥着更大的作用。
