中国农村家庭的医疗和教育支出迅速增加。基于1988年和1995年18个省的家庭数据，我们调查了这些支出如何影响贫困评估。在对这些支出进行核算之后，我们不能说在这一经济快速增长时期贫困有所减少。此外，如果考虑到教育和保健支出，1995年中国的贫困似乎更加集中在西部和官方指定的贫困地区。(C)2003年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Household health and education expenditures have increased rapidly in rural China. Based on data from households in 18 provinces in 1988 and in 1995, we investigate how such expenditures affect poverty assessments. After accounting for these expenditures, we cannot state that poverty decreased during this period of rapid economic growth. Further, poverty in China in 1995 appears to be even more concentrated in the west and in officially designated poor areas when education and health expenditures are considered.
