劳动力市场分割与保留工资决定

Labor Market Segmentation and the Determination of Reservation Wage

本文以北京市调查数据为基础,分析了劳动力市场分割对求职者保留工资的影响,结果发现:①劳动力市场分割是影响保留工资的重要因素,以户籍制度为分割指标的估算结果表明,城镇户口求职者的保留工资显著地高于农村户口求职者的保留工资;②性别和年龄等个人特征会对保留工资产生影响,男性的保留工资高于女性,年龄对保留工资的影响是非线性的,保留工资首先随着求职者的年龄增加而增加,达到一定程度后开始下降;③教育、技能等人力资本水平越高,保留工资越高。
