In this paper, investment-oriented informal finance in rural areas is divided into two distinct parts: household investment-oriented informal finance(INFH) and non-household investment-oriented informal finance(INFNH) in accordance with financing entity. At the same time, the interprovincial panel data is utilized so as to respectively discuss the impacts on income disparity among rural residents brought by above two factors. The study demonstrates that INFH widens the income gap while INFNH narrows the gap. The sub-regional regression analysis shed light on the fact that INFH closes the income gap in rural areas in the eastern region as opposed to the western and central regions; INFNH enlarges income gap in rural areas in the eastern region as opposed to the central and western areas. The robustness test proves that the conclusion of this paper is reliable.
