摘要
劳动力成本和交易成本会从不同方向对产业结构升级产生影响。劳动密集型产业或生产环节对劳动力成本比较敏感,劳动力成本的上升会促使这些产业或生产环节外迁,并推动本地企业更多地利用资本和技术替代劳动,从而推动产业结构由劳动密集型转变为资本和技术密集型;知识密集型产业或生产环节对交易成本比较敏感,即使劳动力成本高企,较低的交易成本也会吸引这些产业或生产环节移入,从而增加本地知识密集型产业或生产环节的比重。因此,劳动力成本的提高会推动区域产业结构升级,交易成本的降低则会诱导区域产业结构升级。
The upgrading of industrial structure has become an important driving force for economic development in the new normal of economic growth.Therefore,the upgrading of industrial structure is an important subject of research.There is plenty of research from the perspective of labor cost,but little can be found on the effect of transaction cost.Furthermore,most of it is general descriptions and qualitative analysis at the system level without a profound systematic probe into the effect of transaction cost at a theoretical level or an empirical study on it.It is therefore necessary to study the impact of the changes in labor cost and transaction cost on the upgrading of industrial structure from both theoretical and empirical perspectives.Theoretical research shows that labor cost and transaction cost influence the upgrading of industrial structure in different ways.Labor-intensive industries or links in the production chain are more sensitive to labor cost.The rise of labor cost will lead to the relocation of these industriesor links in the production chain,and contribute to the replacement of labor with capital and technology by local enterprises,resulting in the shift of industrial structure from labor-intensive to capital-and technology-intensive.Knowledge-intensive industries or links in the production chain are more sensitive to transaction cost.Even if the labor cost is high,the low transaction cost will attract these industries or links in the production chain,thus increasing the proportion of local knowledge-intensive industries or links in the production chain.As a result,the increase of labor cost will upgrade the regional industrial structure,while the reduction of transaction cost will induce the upgrading of regional industrial structure.On the ground of theoretical research,we conducted an empirical research based on the2000-2011 data of 31 provinces and cities in China(except for Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan)and built an empirical econometric model in order to test the labor cost with the average wage of
