Region segregation and industry segregation overlap and intertwine with each other, and they together lay out the basic institutional arrangement that regulates individual economic behaviors and income returns.
In the bovine ZNF496 chromosomal region, segregation of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for milk protein percentage was confirmed in a daughter design sire family.
For instance, the finding that industry segregation has a larger impact on income inequality than does region segregation may not hold for other periods given that China is undergoing rapid social transformation.
Based on the above design, our empirical investigations aim to address the following three questions: First, how much do region segregation and industry segregation, taken individually, contribute to the overall income inequality among Chinese residents?
Moreover, the results also suggest that industry segregation plays a much larger role than does region segregation in explaining individual income gaps,9 with the relative contribution of the former being twice as large as the latter.
By doing so, we are able to distinguish the independent effect of industry segregation from region segregation and to better understand the complex impact of labor market segmentation on income inequality in transitional China.
Comparatively, the impact of industry segregation is much larger than that of region segregation, and the former accounts for 14%, while the latter accounts for less than 7% of total variation.
Nevertheless, the use of primary industrial groups generally leads to more within-group heterogeneities and tends to underestimate between-industry variations, which does not change our basic conclusion that industry segregation is more important than region segregation in explaining income inequality in contemporary China.
However, we now know that salient features of the adult cortical organization, including the sub-region segregation of simple cells, orientation, and ocular dominance maps, manifest themselves at the earliest stages of cortical development, before the onset of the critical period.
