ABSTRACT: Based on the China Family Panel Study (CFPS) 2014,
this paper studied the relationship between the frequencies of working with the
Internet and the wage income gap between urban and rural areas. The study found
that the frequencies of working with the Internet has a significant effect on
wage income through separate analyses of urban and rural areas; the frequencies
of working with the Internet has no significant effect on the wage income gap
between urban and rural areas; when using quantile regression, the frequencies
of working with the Internet still has no significant impact on the wage income
gap between urban and rural areas except at the 75th quantile. These
conclusions are different from the conclusions of direct comparison of
regression coefficients. The FGLS method was used to solve the problem of
heteroscedasticity in the urban subsample.
