This paper evaluates the impact of income inequality on economic growth in China using provinciallevel panel data from household surveys over the period 1986-2001, a period characterized by high growth and high inequality. The results indicate that economic growth was positively affected by inequality from 1986 to 2001, and that a 1% increase in the Gini coefficients leads to a 0.16% increase in GDP per capita growth. However, from 1994 to 2001, with a significant increase in the Gini, inequality diminished economic growth. Consequently, a certain level of inequality is good for economic growth, but it will become detrimental if it exceeds certain levels.
