The paper uses panel data from 32 counties in the Northwest Sichuan pastoral area from 2011 to 2020 and adopts a two-way fixed effects model to analyze the impact of basic public services equalization on income distribution.The results indicate that(1)The equalization of basic public services has significantly improved the income level of residents in the pastoral areas of northwest Sichuan.(2)The overall equalization of basic public services has narrowed the urban-rural in-come gap in various counties of the Northwest Sichuan pastoral area.(3)The equalization of basic public services has sig-nificantly improved the income level of low-income groups,which is conducive to the formation of an olive-shaped income structure.Therefore,the Northwest Sichuan pastoral area should resolve the difficulties in implementing the strategy of e-qualization of basic public services and optimize the income distribution pattern of the Northwest Sichuan pastoral area,nar-row the income gap among residents in the pastoral areas of northwest Sichuan through targeted supply of basic public serv-ices,strengthen the monitoring of the implementation process of equalization of basic public services,establish and improve a quality evaluation mechanism for equalization of basic public services.
