摘要: 本文基于2000—2006年中国工业企业数据、中国海关进出口数据以及城市最低工资标准合并数据,考察地区间最低工资横向竞争对企业参与全球价值链的影响。经Tobit和Heckman两阶段模型回归证实,最低工资攀升及地区间横向竞争显著降低了企业参与全球价值链的可能性;对已参与全球价值链企业,最低工资攀升能够提升企业全球价值链嵌入程度,但地区间最低工资横向竞争显著弱化了该提升作用。进一步分析发现,在已参与全球价值链的企业中,地区间最低工资横向竞争对初次参与全球价值链的企业具有显著抑制作用,而深度参与全球价值链的企业对最低工资及地区间横向竞争变化的反映弹性较小;此外,本文验证了企业利润及生产率是最低工资及其地区间横向竞争影响企业参与全球价值链决策的作用渠道,而企业进口中间投入及生产率是最低工资及其地区间横向竞争影响企业参与全球价值链程度的作用渠道。

Abstract: Based on the data of China′s industrial enterprises, China′s customs import and export data and the combined data of urban minimum wage standards from 2000 to 2006, this paper examines the impact of horizontal competition of minimum wage among regions on enterprises′ participation in global value chain.By Tobit and Heckman two-stage model regression, it is confirmed that the rising minimum wage and regional horizontal competition significantly reduce the possibility of enterprises to participate in the global value chain;for the enterprises that have participated in the global value chain, the rising minimum wage can enhance the degree of global value chain embeddedness, but the horizontal competition of minimum wage among regions significantly weakens the promotion effect.Further analysis shows that, among the enterprises that have participated in the global value chain, the horizontal competition of minimum wage among regions has a significantly inhibitory effect on the enterprises that participate in the global value chain for the first time, while the enterprises that have deeply participated in the global value chain have less elasticity to the changes of minimum wage and horizontal competition among regions;in addition, this paper verifies that enterprise profit and productivity are the channels through which minimum wage and its regional horizontal competition affect enterprises′ participation in global value chain decision-making, while enterprise import intermediate input and productivity are the channels through which minimum wage and its regional horizontal competition affect enterprises′ participation in global value chain decision-making.

Key words: minimum wage, horizontal competition, global value chains
