基于承接国视角的我国服务外包就业效应研究

Impacts of service outsourcing on employment in china from the perspective of recipient country

基于承接国视角,在分析国际服务外包对一国就业规模影响的理论基础上,构建劳动需求的基本模型和引入服务外包变量后的扩展模型,并采用2004—2011年我国9个行业的静态面板数据进行回归检验。结果显示:除了劳动生产率要素的影响为负以外,工资、人力资本、研发投入和外包规模等变量对我国承接服务外包就业规模均存在显著的正向影响,但是研发投入的影响十分微弱。同时,不同于传统的制造外包,承接服务外包对我国就业市场的影响主要体现为创造效应。

This paper explains the impacts of international service outsourcing on employment in China from the perspective of recipient country based on the theoretical analysis of effects of outsourcing on labor demand. Both a fundamental model of labor demand and augmented model after the introduction of outsoureing are established, using nine industrial panel-data over the period of 2004 -2011. Results showed that wages, human capital, R＆D expenditure and service outsourcing have significantly positive impacts on employment in China with rather minor magnitude of R＆D, while labor productivity exerts a negative effect. Besides, unlike manufacturing outsourcing, service outsourcing mainly plays an employment-creating role in China.
