摘要
方言多样性是文化多样性的表现之一。本文利用2011年中国家庭金融调查数据(CHFS)实证检验了方言多样性对外来人口收入的影响。本文发现,方言多样性显著降低了城镇地区外来劳动力的收入,并阻碍了外来劳动力进入高收入行业。在控制了人力资本和城市经济、地理特征后,方言多样性指数每上升0.1,城镇地区外来劳动力收入显著下降约7.52%。方言的经济影响主要通过抑制劳动者社会网络的发展实现,并且这一影响在不同收入水平、不同群体中普遍存在。
Linguistic diversity reflects cultural diversity. Using the dataset of China Household Finance Survey(CHFS) in 2011, we examine the economic outcomes of linguistic diversity in Chinese labor markets. We find that linguistic diversity significantly decreases labor income among migrants in China's urban labor markets. Further study shows that this negative impact is caused by its setback to individual's social network, and we do not find empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that linguistic diversity hinders the spread of knowledge and skills. Moreover, this negative impact of linguistic diversity could be found across various sub-samples.
