Abstract: It is a popular view that the urbanization can promote domestic demand and reduce export dependence in China. However, the reality is that both urbanization and export dependence increase in recent years. This paper makes an empirical investigation on this phenomenon. Empirical results show that: the widening income gap leads to Chinas export dependence enhancement; Chinas urbanization on the one hand leads to higher degree of export dependence by expanding income gap, on the other hand decreases export dependence by promoting investment; However, the increasing power caused by widening income gap endogenous and exogenous with urbanization exceeds the decreasing power, which finally results in the phenomenon that both urbanization rising and export dependence rises at the same time in China.

Key words:  urbanization , export dependence , income gap
