摘要: 本文从快速增长的中间产品贸易及其质量视角研究了全球制造业工资停滞现象。首先,基于DS垄断竞争框架和Koch & Smolka(2019)的研究,本文重新构建开放条件下的工资决定模型,发现进口中间产品质量影响各国劳动工资。其次,借鉴Feenstra & Romalis(2014)的研究,本文构建全新的测度产品—行业—国家层面进口中间产品质量GEKS 指数法,估算1995—2011年37个国家从248个出口市场进口的制造业四位码中间产品质量指数,发现全球制造业进口中间产品质量上升趋势明显但分化严重,中等和低等收入国家质量指数持续上升,高等收入国家质量指数持续下降。最后,本文从跨国—行业层面定量识别进口中间产品质量对进口国制造业工资的具体影响,发现:(1)进口中间产品质量对全球制造业的劳动工资有显著负向影响,对中等收入国家、中级技术密集型行业、高技能劳动者以及进口矿物类中间产品制造业的工资降低效应最大;(2)进口中间产品质量通过“就业破坏效应”和“研发激励效应”两种机制造成全球制造业工资下降;(3)进口中间产品质量变化造成制造业工资下降是全球化中的市场性经济规律和暂时性“全球冲击波”。上述发现解释了全球制造业工资停滞之谜,并启示各国须尊重全球化的市场规律,加强国际合作,共同应对冲击,提高民众福祉,携手共建人类命运共同体。

Abstract: This paper studies the wage stagnation phenomenon of the global manufacturing sectors from the perspective of rapid growth of intermediate product trade and its quality First,this paper reconstructs the wagedetermination model under open condition based on the DS monopolistic competition framework and the research of Koch & Smolka(2019),and finds that the quality of imported intermediate product affects the fluctuation of wages in all countries Second,based on the research of Feenstra & Romalis(2014),this paper constructs a new GEKS index to measure the quality of imported intermediate product at the level of productindustrycountry or region,and then uses the CEPIIBACI(HS92)trade database to estimate the quality of the intermediate product in SITC_Rev2 fourdigit manufacturing industries quality imported from 248 export markets in 37 countries during 19952011 It shows that the quality of imported intermediate product in the global manufacturing sectors has an obvious rising trend,but the differentiation is serious It rises in the middle and lowincome economic entities and declines in the highincome economic entities Finally,this paper quantitatively identifies the specific impact of the quality of imported intermediate product on manufacturing wages in importing countries or regions at the transnational or regionindustry level The findings are as follows:(1)The quality of imported intermediate product has a significant and negative effect on global manufacturing wages,and the reduction effect is the greatest in middle income economic entities,middle technology intensive industries,high skilled labor forces and the importing minerals industries(2)The quality of the imported intermediate product reduces the global manufacturing wages through two mechanisms,employment destruction effect and R&D incentive effect(3)The effect of the quality change of imported intermediate product on manufacturing wages is a market law and a temporary “global shock” These findings explain the puzzle of wage stagnation in the global manufacturing sectors and inspire countries to respect the laws of nature and market in the globalization,strengthen international cooperation,jointly cope with the impact of the external shock,improve peoples wellbeing,and jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind
