The paper documents a drastic increase in economic inequality for the sample period. The paper finds that consumption inequality closely tracks income inequality, both over time and over the life cycle. The paper believes that the main driver of this co-movement could be a dramatic increase in noninsurable idiosyncratic permanent income shocks after the early 1990s, associated with the economic transition in urban China. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2016/239 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions$2imf 606 $aIntertemporal Consumer Choice$2imf 606 $aLife Cycle Models and Saving$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aIncome inequality$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aIncome shocks$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aDisposable income$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aIncome distribution$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aNational income$2imf 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions 607 $aChina, People's Republic of$2imf 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions 615 7$aIntertemporal Consumer Choice 615 7$aLife Cycle Models and Saving 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aWealth 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aIncome inequality 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aIncome shocks 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aDisposable income 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aIncome distribution 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aNational income 676 $a330.951 700 $aDing$b Haiyan$01219727 701 $aHe$b Hui$01450561 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162943903321 996 $aA Tale of Transition$93650843 997 $aUNINA
