Since the reform and opening up of China’s rapid economic development, rapid urbanization rate increased, but the gap significantly, while the income gap between urban and rural areas has been a major component of the wealth gap. Research on the relationship between urbanization and urban-rural income gap is the focus of this article.According to Douglas,the first empirical study to derive a function of per capita income gap between urban and rural areas constitute factors,studied the influence of various factors on the income gap between urban and rural areas and the use of panel data model,the results show that the impact of urbanization factors on the income gap between urban and rural areas of the degree of economic development in different regions different manifestations and even contrary,it tells us that the relationship between urbanization and urban-rural income gap is not a simple linear relationship.Then we use the country’s 31 provinces and 1978-2013 respectively panel data validation urbanization and urban-rural income gap "inverted U" relationship and threshold effects. Panel data fixed effects model to prove our evolutionary trajectory of urban-rural income gap with the economic development presents "inverted U" curve,ie the income gap between urban and rural areas in the beginning stages of urbanization has narrowed,and then started to increase,but in the long run,town narrow the income gap between urban and rural areas is the important factor. Meanwhile threshold effects model shows all regions significantly exists urbanization threshold effect on the income gap between urban and rural areas,in the previous stage of urbanization in general and the income gap between urban and rural areas is a positive relationship between the level of urbanization and urban-rural income at a later stage The difference is a negative relationship. At present,China has entered the "inverted U" curve downward phase, which means that with increasing urbanization rate,the income gap between urban and rural areas will be gradually reduced. Therefore,accelerating urbanization,agricultural population absorption,ease regional economic imbalances,is conducive to narrowing the income gap between urban and rural residents,if urbanization further behind in industrialization,will expand the already very high income gap. According to empirical analysis concluded,the article presented at the last targeted to accelerate improvements in the process of urbanization to narrow the income gap between urban and rural strategies. The whole community of the current main task is to accelerate the urbanization level,to improve the urbanization rate,to achieve the goal of narrowing the income gap between urban and rural areas and work hard.
