最低工资标准、外资进入与中国内资企业出口产品质量

Minimum Wage Standard,Foreign Capital Entry and Export Product Quality of Chinese Domestic Enterprises

利用中国工业企业数据库和海关数据库的匹配数据,研究最低工资标准对外资进入影响中国内资企业出口产品质量的调节效应。结果表明:外资进入明显抑制了内资企业出口产品质量的提升,但最低工资标准明显减弱了此抑制效应;进一步的细化分析表明,最低工资标准明显减弱了外资进入对内资企业出口最高质量和出口最低质量的抑制效应,体现出技术升级效应和补齐短板效应;异质性分析显示,最低工资标准明显减弱了外资进入对内资企业一般贸易出口产品质量的抑制效应,但对外资进入影响加工贸易出口产品质量无明显调节效应,并且在更大程度上减弱了外资进入对非国有和高生产率内资企业出口产品质量的抑制效应;中介效应检验证实最低工资标准通过提升进口产品质量渠道和促进自主创新渠道减弱了外资进入对内资企业出口产品质量的抑制效应。

Based on the matched data of China industrial enterprise database and customs database,this paper investigates the moderating effect of the minimum wage standard on the impact of foreign capital entry on the export product quality of Chinese domestic enterprises.The results show that foreign capital entry has significantly inhibited the quality of export products of domestic enterprises,but the minimum wage standard has significantly weakened the inhibitory effect.Further detailed analysis shows that the minimum wage standard can significantly weaken the negative inhibitory effect of foreign capital entry on the highest and lowest export quality of domestic enterprises,reflecting the effect of technology upgrading and complementing the short board.Heterogeneous analysis indicates that the minimum wage standard significantly weakens the inhibitory effect of foreign capital entry on the quality of export products of domestic enterprise in common trade,but has no significant regulatory effect on the impact of foreign capital entry on the quality of export products of processing trade,and weakens the inhibitory effect of foreign capital entry on the quality of export products of non-state-owned and high-productivity domestic enterprises to a greater extent.The mediating effect test confirms that the minimum wage standard weakens the inhibitory effect of foreign capital entry on the quality of export products of domestic enterprise through improving the quality of import products and promoting independent innovation channels.
