摘要
本文从CES生产函数出发,推导提高劳动报酬占比的基本条件。采用何种途径提高劳动报酬占比取决于要素弹性的大小。实证分析发现,要素替代弹性的大小与当地的发展水平和禀赋条件有关,发展水平较高的地区可以通过提高劳动者的工资水平来改善初次分配,而发展水平较低的地区则可通过扩大就业的方式来改善初次分配。此外,在实证分析中我们还发现提高劳动报酬占比不会损害资本的合理利益。
The improvement of labor＇s share has been profoundly implicated not only in the lessening of income inequality but also in the increasing of ratio of consumption to GDP. Intuitively, wage-raising and employment promotion are both available policy options to improve the labor＇s share. By theoretical and empirical analysis we find that the policy choice should be determined by the differences in development and factor endowments, specifically the elasticity of substitution between labor and capital, in different regions. In the east, where the elasticity is lower than other areas, wage-raising is effective to improve labor＇s share. Otherwise, we should resort to employment promotion in the middle and west.
