Abstract: High saving rates of urban and rural residents in China have become a typical feature of Chinas economic growth and economic structure transformation Based on the provincial panel data from 1996 to 2014, this paper adopts a twoway fixed effect model to study the effect of labor transfer rates and urbanrural income gap on urban and rural residents saving rates We find that labor transfer rates and urbanrural income gap both have a significant impact on saving rates of both urban and rural residents In particular, the impact on rural residents saving rates is much more significant By introducing the cross term of labor transfer rate and urbanrural income gap, we find that urbanrural income gap is narrowed down through the process of labor transfer, including transfer scale and transfer speed It impacts urbanrural income gap first, and then has an effect on the rural residents saving rates On this basis, we put forward some suggestions on how to improve the public infrastructure and investment environment, and narrow the income gap between urban and rural areas
