数字技术创新的收入分配效应研究——基于产品创新和公司治理的视角

Income Distribution Effect of Digital Technology Innovation:From the Perspective of Product Innovation and Corporate Governance

文章以上市公司数字专利申请数量作为数字技术创新的度量指标,实证检验了数字技术创新对劳动收入份额的影响及其作用机理。研究发现:数字技术创新通过产品创新激励效应和公司治理赋能效应显著提高了企业劳动收入份额;进一步分析发现,数字技术创新对普通员工、成长期和成熟期企业以及价格加成较低的企业劳动收入份额的影响更为明显;此外,数字技术创新的影响具有一定的供应链溢出效应,核心企业数字技术创新提高了客户的劳动收入份额,但对供应商的劳动收入份额并没有显著影响。研究结论为完善初次收入分配格局和促进共同富裕提供了有益的政策参考。

This study conducts an empirical analysis of the effect and mechanism of digital technology innovation(DTI)on labor income share,utilizing the number of digital patent applications submitted by listed firms as an indicator of DTI.The result shows that DTI significantly increases labor income share,driven by promoting product innovation and improving corporate governance.In addition,the impact of DTI on labor income share is more evident among ordinary workers,enterprises in growth and mature stages,and enterprises with lower markup.Moreover,the influence of DTI exhibits a certain spillover effect along supply chain.Specifically,the DTI of core enterprises can boost the labor income share of their downstream customers,but it does not significantly affect the labor income share of their upstream suppliers.This paper offers valuable policy insights for enhancing the primary income distribution pattern and promoting common prosperity.
