We combine national accounts, surveys, and new tax data to study the accumulation and distribution of income and wealth in China from 1978 to 2015. The national wealth-income ratio increased from 350 percent in 1978 to 700 percent in 2015, while the share of public property in national wealth declined from 70 percent to 30 percent. We provide sharp upward revision of official inequality estimates. The top 10 percent income share rose from 27 percent to 41 percent between 1978 and 2015; the bottom 50 percent share dropped from 27 percent to 15 percent. China's inequality levels used to be close to Nordic countries and are now approaching US levels.

The data at the micro household level are selected from the 2017 and 2019 data of the China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) hosted by the China Household Finance Survey and Research Center of Southwestern University of Finance and Economics. The macro data are mainly derived from the national statistical yearbooks and provincial statistical yearbooks. In the process of data processing, this paper excludes the samples of households with household heads under the age of 18 and other data that are missing, and finally retains 18,396 valid samples for research. In addition, in order to avoid the influence of extreme values on the estimation results, this paper reduces the tail of all continuous variables such as total household assets, household size, and total household income by 1%.

Although China’s economic statecraft in other regions is well-documented, little is known about how Beijing utilizes economic instruments, especially official financing (COF), in Southeast Asia. What accounts for the amount of official financing China commits to a Southeast Asian country in a given year? We argue that China’s economic statecraft in Southeast Asia is mainly driven by trade concerns. Statistical evidence from mixed-effects models using the most updated aid data between 2000 and 2021 suggests that COF in Southeast Asia is significantly influenced by the volume of imported Chinese goods into a country in the previous year. This country-year panel dataset spans from 2000 to 2021, encompassing eight formal ASEAN member states. These countries include Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The dataset contains approximately 200 observations. While this may seem like a modest sample size, it is adequate for our statistical analyses as it includes most stakeholders in the region. We use China's Official Financing (COF) as the Dependent Variable, aggregating annual Official Development Assistance (ODA), Other Official Flows (OOF), and Vague Official Financing (VOF) data for eight ASEAN countries from William and Mary College's AidData.

Since the 1990s, global income and wealth inequality has increased significantly, especially in developing countries, where the imbalance in wealth distribution has become increasingly prominent. This study seeks to thoroughly investigate the effects of expansionary monetary policy on income and wealth inequality, using China as a case study and employing extensive household survey microdata for empirical analysis. The findings indicate that expansionary monetary policy has significantly enhanced overall income and wealth levels. However, when considering the extent of wealth growth, it appears that affluent households have benefited more than their low- and middle-income counterparts, thereby widening the wealth gap. In addition, the real estate market boom played an amplifying role in this process, further deepening the impact of monetary policy on wealth inequality. The findings of this paper provide an important empirical basis for understanding the complex relationship between monetary policy and socio-economic inequality, and provide practical references for policymakers to consider the fairness of income and wealth distribution when formulating relevant monetary policies.
