The Mechanism and Practical Test of the Effect of the Equalization of Public Services on the Income Gap between Urban and Rural Residents in the Context of Common Prosperity
Based on the provincial Panel data from 2011 to 2020,this paper uses the fixed effect model and the Mesomeric effect model to test the impact,mechanism and regional differences of the equalization of public services on the urban-rural income gap.The results indicate that:firstly,the improvement of the level of equalization of public services can effectively reduce the income gap between urban and rural residents.Sec-ondly,there is spatial heterogeneity in the impact of equalization of public services on the urban-rural income gap.In western regions and areas with high net population outflow,the impact of equalization of public serv-ices on the urban-rural income gap is more significant.Thirdly,the equalization of public services can affect the urban-rural income gap through two channels:promoting labor mobility and accumulating human capital.These research conclusions provide a reference for the country and government to promote sustained and stable economic development,safeguard and improve people's livelihood,comprehensively promote social construc-tion,and promote common prosperity in the new era.
