结构调整、劳动力流动与地区工资差异

从1999年到2007年间,中国东部和中西部地区之间的工资收入增长出现了明显的收敛趋势,其中的重要影响因素是什么?本文通过构建比较优势理论和新经济地理学的分析框架,分析了劳动力流动和中西部地区的工业化在中国特有条件下的作用机制。不断放松管制的劳动力流动鼓励了劳动力要素的迁移,促进了劳动力要素价格均等化的发展,中西部地区大力发展第二产业和第三产业又进一步提高了劳动力要素的报酬。假如这一局面继续维持,它将推动沿海和内地的工资收入增长的均衡发展。

Structure Adjustment,Labour Mobility and the Spatial Wage Disparity

From 1999 to 2007, an obvious convergence of wage increase has happened in China's eastern and west-central regions. And what is main reason for it? From an analytical framework of comparative advantage theory and new economic geography theory, we revealed labour mobility and west-central region's industrialization affect china's economy. The deregulation of labour mobility encourages the migration of labour factor, and promote the the labour factor-price equalization. The west-central regions promote the labour price factor increase through developing the second and third industry. If this continues, it will push the balance development of wage increase in coastal and hinterland regions.
