尽管关于中国年度收入不平等的文章很多，但对收入不平等和收入流动性的长期衡量指标的研究却很少。本文比较了 20 世纪 90 年代中国和美国城市居民的收入流动性。讨论以下问题。年度收入不平等指标在多大程度上误导了长期收入不平等指标？ 20世纪90年代上半叶中国的收入流动性有多大？与其他国家的流动性相比如何？穷人的实际收入增幅更大还是富人的实际收入增幅更大？中国永久收入的变化有多重要？这种变化是如何变化的？
Though much has been written about annual income inequality in China, little research has been conducted on longer run measures of income inequality and on income mobility. This paper compares income mobility of urban individuals in China and the United States in the 1990s. The following questions are taken up. To what extent are measures of annual income inequality misleading indicators of long-run income inequality? How much income mobility was there in China in the first half of the 1990s and how did this compare with mobility in other countries? Have real income increases been greater for the poor or the rich? How important is the variation in permanent incomes in China and how has this changed?
