Abstract: Taking Ludian County in Zhaotong City of Yunnan Province for example, according to the data on residents' income gap in Ludian County during the period 2002-2011, we analyze the residents' income gap in Ludian County, and offer the forecast value of residents' income gap in Ludian County during the period 2012-2015, using Compertz curve model and Eviews software for fitting. The forecast value shows that the residents' income gap will continue to widen in Ludian County. Finally we put forth the recommendations for bridging the residents' income gap in Ludian County, in order to provide a reference for settling the problems concerning residents' income gap in other state-level poverty-stricken counties of Yunnan Province.
