环境规制与劳动收入份额：可以实现双赢吗

Environmental Regulation and Labor Income Share:Can a Win-Win Situation be Achieved

本文以2003—2016年中国35个工业行业数据为样本,计量检验了环境规制对劳动收入份额的影响。研究发现:环境规制对劳动收入份额具有显著的U形影响,随着环境规制强度的不断提高,劳动收入份额呈现先降低后提高的趋势。环境规制对劳动收入份额的影响主要通过改变就业技能结构来实现。环境规制对工业行业劳动收入份额影响具有异质性,清洁行业快于污染密集行业到达U形曲线拐点。研究结论表明,目前中国工业行业环境规制水平整体偏低,要实现环境规制与劳动收入份额的双赢,需要进一步提高环境规制强度,制定差异化的环境规制政策,使工业行业尽早达到环境规制对劳动收入份额影响的拐点。

This paper takes the data of 35 industries in China from 2003 to 2016 as a sample and inspects by variables the impact of environmental regulation on labor income share.The findings are as follows:Environmental regulation has a significant U-shaped impact on labor income share.That is,as the intensity of environmental regulation keeps increasing,labor income share tends to decrease first and then increase.Environmental regulation affects labor income share by changing the employment skill structure of the industrial sector.The impact of environmental regulation on the share of industrial labor income is heterogeneous,the clean industry is faster than the pollution-intensive industry to reach the inflection point of U Curve.The conclusions of the study show that the current environmental regulation level of China’s industrial sector is generally low.To achieve a Win-Win situation between environmental regulation and labor income share,we should further improve the intensity of environmental regulation and formulate differentiated environmental regulation policies so that the industrial sector can reach the inflection point of the impact exerted by environmental regulation on labor income share as soon as possible.
