Abstract

This article aims at investigating the long-run relationship between financial development and income inequality in China using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model from 1978 to 2006. The results suggest that there exists a strong relationship between the Gini coefficient and financial development, and that financial development leads to a reduction in the income inequality.
