部门间工资不完全追赶对中国结构性通胀的影响

The Impact of Incomplete Catch-Up of Inter-sectional Wage on China's Structural Inflation

中国的通货膨胀呈现出价格上涨的"二元分化"结构性特征:农产品价格涨幅明显高于工业品,进而推动整体价格上涨。本文在考虑城乡物价差异和劳动力流动成本的情况下,通过构建部门间工资不完全追赶模型来解释中国的结构性通货膨胀。研究发现,随着劳动力流动成本减小,城乡物价水平差异缩小,这都将在一定程度上加大中国的结构性通货膨胀程度。因此,建议加大对农业的投入,缩小农业部门与工业劳动生产率的差异,有计划地推进城乡一体化进程,以减小长期的结构性通胀压力的影响。

China＇s inflation shows a structural characteristic of the dual differentiation between prices ： the prices of agricultural products rise significantly higher than the industrial products, thereby promote overall prices. In this paper, considering different prices between urban and rural areas and labor mobility costs, we build a wages＇ incomplete catch - up model to explain China＇s structural inflation. The study found that, with the narro- wing gap of prices levels between urban and rural areas, and the decreasing costs of labor mobility, structural inflation in China will increase to some extent. Therefore, it is recommended to increase investment in agricul- ture, narrow differences of labor productivity between agricultural and industrial sectors, and promote the process of urbanization in a plan, as to reduce the impact of structural inflation in long - term.
