摘要
By exploring the economic data in 31 Chinese provinces during 2006-2018, this paper discovers that: (1) inclusive finance narrows the urban-rural income gap mainly by improving financial quality; (2) urbanization outweighs inclusive finance in reducing the urban-rural income gap; (3) urbanization and inclusive finance (exclusive of financial quality) weaken each other in bridging the urban-rural income gap. The findings are robust to the endogeneity problem.
