Abstract: The farmers’ income sources can be divided into four categories, including wage income, operating income and transfer income and property income by the national bureau of statistics of China. Base on PVAR model, and using provinces’ panel data of China from 2000 to 2012, this paper analyzes the dynamic relationships between farmer’s income sources and urban-rural income gap. We find that: the influence of the degree and direction of the farmers’ income sources to urban-rural income gap is different, and transfer income constitutes the main factors of urban-rural income gap changes. This shows that the welfare gap of urban residents and rural residents has seriously restricted the increase of farmers’ income. Wage income of farmers proves the most detrimental to narrowing urban-rural income gap. Operating income and property income have played an important role in narrowing the income gap. The expanding of urban-rural income gap is least useful for raising transfer income.

摘要： 根据国家统计局的权威划分，农民收入来源结构分为工资性收入、家庭经营收入、转移性收入和财产性收入。基于中国2000-2012年省级数据的面板向量自回归模型，实证分析了农民收入来源结构与城乡收入差距间的动态关系。研究发现：农民各项收入来源对城乡收入差距的影响程度与方向不同，其中转移性收入构成了城乡收入差距变动的最主要因素，这表明农村与城镇居民的福利差距已严重影响了农民收入的增长；工资性收入扩大城乡收入差距的作用最为显著；家庭经营收入与财产性收入的增加均起到了缩小城乡收入差距的作用；城乡收入差距的扩大最不利于农民转移性收入的增长。
