社会收入分布对创新技术普及的影响

Effect of Social Income Distribution on Application of New Technologies

摘要:

社会收入分布以及不平等问题长期以来受到社会和学者们的广泛关注，但较少有研究分析社会收入分布情况如何影响新技术或新产品的市场渗透过程。通过动态理论模型构建和经验分析发现，过大的贫富差距虽然有利于新技术在推广之初的引进，但是由于财富高度集中于高收入阶层导致其他阶层无法支付新技术高昂的价格，进而抑制了新技术或新产品的普及。政府在制定扶持新技术的相关政策时应当充分考虑当前社会的收入分布情况，从而最大程度地发挥政策的促进作用。

Abstract:

Social income distribution and inequality problems have received widespread attention from society and scholars. But very few studies have analyzed how the distribution of social income affects the market penetration process of new technologies or new products. By a dynamic theoretical model and an empirical analysis， it is found that although the large gap between the rich and the poor is conducive to the introduction of new technologies at the beginning， but because the wealth is highly concentrated in the high-income class， the other classes cannot pay the high prices of new technologies， which inhibits the application of new technology or new products. When formulating relevant policies to support new technologies， the government should give some consideration to the current income distribution of the society， so as to maximize the effect of policies.
