更高的社保投入有利于企业创新吗——基于“中国企业-劳动力匹配调查”(CEES)的实证研究

Is Higher Social Insurance Conducive to Corporate Innovation——Empirical Evidence from the "China Employer-Employee Survey"(CEES)

本文运用2018年“中国企业-劳动力匹配调查”(CEES)数据,实证分析了社保投入对于企业创新的影响效应和影响机制。研究结果表明,现阶段社保投入提升对于我国企业创新资源的挤出效应并不明显。进一步分析发现,在其他因素充分控制的前提下,社保投入提升将显著增强企业在劳动力市场的竞争力,有助于激励和吸引更多高质量人力资本,从而促进企业创新能力不断跃升。异质性分析表明,与中小企业相比,大企业社保投入对企业创新的激励功能更为显著。建议合理看待企业社会保险负担,引导大企业重视社保投入的激励效应,同时,减轻中小企业的社保负担。
