外企工人是否有更高的议价地位：来自中国制造业企业的证据

Do Workers in Foreign Invested Enterprises Enjoy More Powerful Bargaining Status?Evidence from Manufacturing Enterprises in China

基于中国制造业企业调查数据,本文使用probit模型及两阶段最小二乘法就外资企业中工人的议价地位是否与其他内资企业之间存在显著差异进行研究。结果发现,外资企业工人签订集体合同和被允许与企业进行集体议价的概率不仅显著低于整体内资企业,也显著低于内资中的私营企业。进一步的研究还表明,外资企业中的工会在签署集体合同和促成集体议价等方面并未发挥应有作用,而地方政府的劳动监管对外资企业工人的集体议价地位也无显著影响。

Based on a survey on China＇s manufacturing firms, this papers tudies the effect of FDI on workers＇ bargaining status by using the probit model and 2SLS estimation. The major conclusion is that FIEs （foreign-invested enterprises） are less likely to sign collective contracts with workers and to allow workers to proceed bargaining than domestic enterprises, including private ones. Furthermore, we find that unions in FIEs fail to play an effective role in improving workers＇ bargaining status, and labor supervision departments in local governments fail to provide effective regulations.
