内容提要 | 本文以地方政府行为为切入点,探究了全球化过程中FDI的流入通过地方政府行为对中国收入分配差距的影响,评估了劳工标准和环保标准两个内在传递机制对收入分配差距的贡献额度。基于中国31个省2004-2014年的面板数据,研究发现:全球化背景下,FDI的进入会扩大中国的收入分配差距,且FDI对收入分配的总影响有近二分之一是通过劳工标准和环保标准这两个渠道间接实现的。通过贡献分解可知,劳工标准和环保标准在FDI收入分配效应中的平均相对贡献分别为5%和40%左右。FDI通过影响地方政府行为,降低企业实际执行的劳工标准和环保标准,对不同收入群体的收入流产生异质性冲击,是导致收入分配恶化的重要原因。由此而言,为抑制FDI对收入分配的负面影响,强化对地方政府劳工标准、环保标准的监管应成为重要选项。 |
Abstract | From the perspective of the local governments' behavior, this paper aims to explore the impact and transmission mechanism of globalization on China's income inequality. We force on how foreign direct investment (FDI) affects income inequality through labor standards and environmental standards implemented by local governments. To test our main hypotheses, we use data of 31 provinces between 2004 and 2014. Empirical findings indicate that FDI-inflows exert a significant negative impact on income inequality in China in the process of globalization. Nearly a half of the total impact of FDI on income inequality is achieved indirectly through the two channels, i.e. labor standard and environmental standards. We find that FDI-inflows lowers the local standards and environmental standards implemented by local governments. These indirect effects can partly explain the negative effect of FDI-inflows on income inequality in China. Thus, in order to avoid the negative impact of FDI on the income distribution, it is an important option for local government to tighten regulations of labor standards and environmental standards. |
