本研究利用基尼系数分解和集中度曲线，考察了直接支付对日本大米收入不平等的均衡化效果。结果表明，日本的直接支付是高度集中的，但他们仍然减少大米收入不平等。但是，由于日本的补贴与参与减少种植面积计划挂钩，没有完全脱钩，因此直接补贴的均衡效果不如其他国家。为了追求更大的收入平等，政策制定者应该将支付脱钩，并引入机制来减少或限制对最大受益人的支持金额。(C)2020年，任作家。爱思唯尔公司出版政策建模协会（Society for Policy Modeling）
This study investigates the income-equalizing effect of direct payments on rice income inequality in Japan using the Gini decomposition and the concentration curve. The results indicate that the direct payments in Japan are highly concentrated but they nevertheless reduce rice income inequality. However, the equalizing effect of direct payments is less than that in other countries because the Japanese payments are linked to participation in an acreage reduction program and are not fully decoupled. To pursue greater income equality, policymakers should decouple the payments and introduce mechanisms to decrease or limit the amount of support to the largest beneficiaries. (C) 2020 The Authors.
