      abstract = {A new method is proposed to decompose inequality changes  as measured by the Gini index into structural effects, real  inequality effects and interactive effects. Application of  the method to updated Chinese data reveals that structural  effects represent the driving force underlying the  increasing trend in regional income inequality in rural  China. Policy implications are explored. In addition to  these contributions, considerable efforts are made to  construct the income data used in the article. Pitfalls in  measuring income inequality in rural China are discussed.},
