| Poverty is a problem all over the world,poverty research also is the formidable task of academia.At present,the connotation of poverty and the methods of poverty measured all have diversity.This dissertation attempts to have measure poverty research using GEKS of International Comparison Program(ICP).The method of GEKS can better avoid overvalued real economic strength in developing countries.This dissertation,consisting of six chapters,attempts to have a trial and difference analysis about urban/rural poverty Purchasing Power Parities(PPP).The first chapter serves as the introduction,analyzing the subject background,significances,research purposes and main content,innovation and shortage of this dissertation.The second chapter deeply analyzes the poverty PPP theoretical issues,including poverty PPP concept and its build steps,the difficulties faced in measuring poverty PPP.On the basis of study,it can be found that measuring poverty PPP faces four aspects of problems,including PPP of ICP(International Comparison Program)cannot being directly used for measuring poverty,poverty PPP facing technical problems,the household survey question and important issue unresolved.The third chapter tries to study the methods of GEKS measuring poverty PPP,including the theoretical basis of GEKS,GEKS method and its implementation steps,the expansion methods of GEKS(GEKS*,GEKS*(S)and weighted GEKS).Binding data were collected and compared,this dissertation choose the original GEKS measuring poverty PPP.Chapter four is the major innovation of this dissertation,and is also the key as well as the difficult points.This part makes an attempt to measure urban/rural poverty PPP,using it in two aspects of the measure of the urban/rural poverty line and the identification of the urban/rural minimum living security line.The fifth chapter is the key as well as the difficult points,and is about the difference analysis between urban and rural poverty PPP,its variance analysis from two aspects of process and result.Chapter six functions as the conclusion and policy recommendation.This part summarizes the conclusion of chapter four and chapter five,and puts forward specific recommendations based on its conclusions.According to the measure and variance analysis of urban/rural poverty PPP,it can be concluded that:nearly half of the provinces above the poverty line level by national published;urban poverty line is higher than 2.6 times the rural poverty line;urban poverty line of all over the country provinces and cities are all higher than urban minimum living security line;seventy percent of the 27 provinces,rural poverty line is higher than rural minimum living security line;in the 27 provinces,the ratio of urban minimum living security and urban poverty line are below its ratio of rural minimum living security and rural poverty line.At present the urban/rural minimum living security line is not enough.Combined with the text of the empirical part,this paper presents three policy recommendations:country is urgent need to improve urban/rural minimum living security line;provinces need to balance urban and rural areas,where appropriate relief fund;reference provinces for urban/rural poverty line.Hope to have some reference to relevant departments.This dissertation has two major innovative characteristics:first is the unique subject.Poverty issues are difficult fields in ICP,a few researches of scholars.This paper systematically studied faced difficulties in measuring poverty PPP and GEKS method including its expansion methods.Second is the introduction of new methods.This paper attempts to use the method of GEKS to have urban/rural poverty PPP trial calculation,and use urban/rural poverty PPP to measure urban/rural poverty line and identify the urban/rural minimum living security line.However,due to the limited capability of the author and relatively insufficient study of poverty Purchasing Power Parities,this dissertation contributes not too much in the effects of poverty PPP trial result.The method and the conclusions and suggestions of this dissertation are only for reference.Last but not least,I hope to inspire subsequent scholars. |
