Director: Li Shi

Main tasks: Applying computable general equilibrium and Australia STINMOD (Static Income Micro simulation Model) to evaluate the effects on income distribution of related policies and provide corresponding suggestions.

Research purpose: Based on the relevant empirical research methods, we can simulate income distribution policies and income distribution effects of other relevant policies. The simulation and evaluation system can provides a solid theoretical foundation for the implementation of policies, so we can explore practical effect, growth prospects and improvement project.

Main direction of studying:

1. The income distribution effects simulation of related policies

2. The evaluation and analysis of relevant policies

Research purpose: combining with China’s national conditions, we can go into the wage system wage determination mechanism and wages in the role of income distribution system      by modern economics research methods and finally provide theoretical and empirical support for public policy.

Main direction of studying:

1. Wage levels and changes in the wage gap during economic transition

2. Wage determination

Research purpose: Taking advantage of income distribution and development economics and other related methods, we can provide theoretical support for realizing anti-poverty by analyzing the income level of rural and urban poor, income characteristics, distribution of poverty population and its solutions.

Main direction of studying:

1. The status of the urban and rural poverty, change and features

2. The level of income and its characteristics of urban and rural poverty

3. The relationships and interactions between Economic growth and poverty

4. Poverty differences research of different regions and groups

5. Poverty alleviation policy of regions and its comparisons

6. The formulation and implementation effects of anti-poverty system

Main direction of studying:

1. Household wealth accumulation and distribution

2. The structure of household wealth

3. The expenditure mode of high wealth population

4. The relationship between wealth gap and macro economic structure
