Abstract This paper studies the impact of spillover of rural human capital on urban-rural income gap in China by co-integration test and ECM. The result indicates that massive spillover of human capital in rural areas of China may account for widening income gap between urban and rural residents, which would in turn lead to the spillover of human capital of rural areas; transferring rural labor force is not the sufficient condition to narrow the urban-and rural resident's income gap because of the spillover of rural human capital. Effective measures is a must to make the best use of rural human capital to narrow the gap.
