Abstract

Under the guidance of China's reform and opening-up and the background of today's economic globalization, opening to the outside world has become one of China’s economic development priorities. For eastern China with the highest opening degree, cities’ actual use of foreign direct investment (FDI) is expanding, but the trend is gradually slowing down. The income gap among cities within the eastern China is still large, despite the fact that it is shrinking all the time. This paper uses the data of 12 regions in eastern China from 2005 to 2020 to empirically analyze the degree of the urban-rural income disparity (URID) in each region and the eastern China. The results show that FDI and the URID are in an “inverted U-shaped” relationship for the eastern region, and most of them are currently in a narrowing stage. By analyzing the contribution rate of each region to the overall URID in the east, it is found that the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has the greatest impact. Therefore, when reducing the income gap in eastern China, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region should be one of the priorities to raise the level of economic development.
