Since 1979, markets have been reintroduced into the People's Republic of China to improve the living standard of rural peasants. Here, examined are the functions of markets in affecting rural-urban income inequality, using official data published by China's State Statistical Bureau on 29 administrative regions. The results indicate that markets reduce the income gap between rural & urban sectors by reestablishing the horizontal linkage between food producers & consumers. However, markets function less on the production process to narrow the urban-rural income gap. Rural industrialization is also found to have a major impact on the change in rural livelihood. 4 Tables, 1 Figure, 28 References. Adapted from the source document.

Examines the relationship between local development policies & changes in the number of jobs in both the manufacturing & service sectors during the mid-1980s, based on data for 900 cities from the US Census & a 1984 International City Management Assoc survey of local governments. A two-stage least squares regression analysis indicates that policy adoption had a limited effect on employment change, 1982-1987. For both manufacturing & service employment, market factors had the strongest effect on employment growth. The findings suggest that local economic development policies had a limited influence on changes in the number of jobs in cities during the economic recovery of the 1980s. Local investment in infrastructure & education, however, may enhance employment growth in both the manufacturing & service sectors. 2 Tables, 29 References. Adapted from the source document.
