摘要
综合现有资料,整理并分析了19世纪初至20世纪初北京的银钱比价、物价与工资序列,以此探讨近代北京的通货膨胀形态、商品和劳动力的市场化以及实际工资的趋势。通过价格走势的一致性,发现北京及其周边地区的市场间存在整合。在民间自组织的推动下,无论是货币市场还是劳动力市场都具有一致的行市,使价格机制在市场经济中的核心作用得以发挥。对实际工资的检验还表明,近代北京的劳动力实际价格并无趋势性变化,而劳动者的福利水平则以改进的可能性为高。
This paper synthesizes existing data, and analyzes silver-copper coin ratio, prices and wages series in Beijing from early 19th century to early 20th century. Based on these series, it researches modern Beijing's inflation structure, commodity and labor market, and trend of real wages. Through price consistency, it finds that Beijing and surrounding area's markets are integrated. Because of self organization, whether money market or labor market has consistent market quotations, which leads to the central role of price mechanism in a market system. Tests on the real wage also shows that real wages of modern Beijing don't have significant long-run change, but the welfare level of workers tends to be improved.
