The Frequencies of Working with the Internet and Urban-Rural Wage Income Gap

摘要

Based on the China Family Panel Study (CFPS) 2014, this paper studied the relationship between the frequencies of working with the Internet and the wage income gap between urban and rural areas. The study found that the frequencies of working with the Internet has a significant effect on wage income through separate analyses of urban and rural areas; the frequencies of working with the Internet has no significant effect on the wage income gap between urban and rural areas; when using quantile regression, the frequencies of working with the Internet still has no significant impact on the wage income gap between urban and rural areas except at the 75 ~( th ) quantile. These conclusions are different from the conclusions of direct comparison of regression coefficients. The FGLS method was used to solve the problem of heteroscedasticity in the urban subsample.
