劳动力流动会影响我国地区出口比较优势吗?——基于省区工业细分产业数据的实证研究

Does Labor Mobility Matter for Comparative Advantage of Regional Export in China?

本文运用2005年中国省区工业细分产业数据,考察了劳动力流动与我国地区出口比较优势的关系。实证研究表明:劳动力流动性较大的地区会在产出波动性较高的行业进行专业化生产,具有出口比较优势。同时,在控制了人力资本、物质资本和自然资源禀赋等传统比较优势影响因素之后,本文的实证结果依然稳健。本文的实证结果对于我国各地区应对全球经济危机,调整地区出口结构,保证地区出口和经济的稳步增长具有重要的政策涵义。

By using data of cross province and cross industry in 2005,this paper investigates the relationship between labor market mobility and export comparative advantage.The results show that,regions with more mobile labor market will gain export advantage in more volatile industries.Even after controlling the traditional comparative advantage factors such as human capital,physical capital and natural resources endowment,our results still hold.The above results have important policy implications for us to upgrade export structure in the presence of economic crisis.
