工资上涨会降低我国的比较优势吗?

Will Rising Wages Reduce Our Country's Comparative Advantage?

低廉的劳动力成本一直是我国参与国际分工的比较优势,但近几年随着我国劳动力工资水平的提高,很多发达国家逐渐将产品的生产外包业务转至它国。对此,本文搜集了我国28个产业的数据,分析工资对产品价格变动的影响程度。结果表明工资与制造业各行业的比较优势具有正相关关系,但工资上升并没有对其比较优势产生根本性转变,主要原因在于劳动生产率的上升快于工资水平的上升,这在一定程度上抵消了工资上涨对比较优势的负面效应。

Cheap labor costs have always been the comparative advantage of our country participation in international division of labor. In recent years, many developed countries gradually transfer the business of productive outsourcing to other countries with the improvement of our country labor wages. For this, the paper has collected the data about 28 industries in our country, analyzed the influence degree of the wage changes to the product price. Results showing that the wage and the comparative advantage of manufacturing industries are positive, but rising wages don＇t shift the comparative advantage fundamentally, the main reason is that labor productivity rises faster than wages, partly offsets the negative effect on rising wages to the comparative advantage.
