An Analysis of Inequalities of Farm Income by Gini Decomposition

This paper analyzes income inequalities in farm by source and inter- and intra-province, using a Gini Decomposition Method with Farm Household Economy Survey from 2008 to 2012. The results show that the income inequalities in farm have increased since 2008, and agricultural income and non-farm income are major sources contributing farm income inequalities when farm income is decomposed by source. In the analysis of marginal effects on income inequalities in farm by sources, only transfer income has a positive effect, which implies that transfer income alleviates income inequalities in farm. In other words, agricultural income and non-farm income deteriorate the income inequalities. The analysis of income inequalities by inter- and intra-province shows that inequalities caused by interprovince difference take the largest part of farm income inequalities.
