@article{oai:nagoya.repo.nii.ac.jp:00015285, author = {RUEANTHIP, Kittipong}, issue = {2}, journal = {経済科学}, month = {Dec}, note = {This paper reviews the pattern of income inequality in Thailand between 1996 and 2011 from a dataset derived from the Thai socio-economic survey (SES). After controlling for spatial price differences, real income figures reveal that income inequality in Thailand remains at a high level instead of declining somewhat as nominal income figures suggest. The inequality between urban and rural areas and between regions contributed to a small extent to total inequality, less than 20 percent, and the contribution continually declined. In other words. the contributions of income inequality mainly come from within urban and rural inequality. The results from decomposing inequality by income sources provide further detail of the structure of inequality in Thailand. For example. for the whole country, the marginal impact of increasing labour income and business profit are the major sources of 'inequality-increasing' while increase in 'income in-kind' and income from 'remittance and assistances' are important in negating differences. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the marginal impact of farming profit on inequality dramatically switched from negative to highly positive in rural area and the positive impact of property income becomes larger at whole Kingdom and, especially in urban area.}, pages = {25--43}, title = {The Urban-Rural Income Inequality in Thailand: 1996-2011}, volume = {60}, year = {2012} }
