中文摘要

本文研究劳动力市场势力如何影响企业动态与总量生产率。我们构建了一个新古典买方垄断的动态模型,纳入职业选择、企业增长以及提升生产率的技术采纳。劳动力市场势力通过扭曲劳动配置、创业与创新决策,降低了效率并造成总量产出损失。该模型与如下跨国证据相一致,即在劳动力市场竞争更充分的经济体中,企业生命周期增长更高、生产率投资更多;并且该模型可以解释各国总量生产率差异的25%。我们发现,约85%的损失可归因于劳动力市场竞争减弱所导致的技术采纳不足,这表明效率损失可能大于以往研究的估计。

Abstract

This paper studies how labor market power affects firm dynamics and aggregate productivity. We build a dynamic model of neoclassical monopsony with occupational choice, firm growth, and productivity-enhancing technology adoption. Labor market power lowers efficiency and leads to aggregate output losses by distorting the allocation of labor, entrepreneurship, and innovation decisions. The model is consistent with cross-country evidence of higher life cycle firm growth and higher productivity investment in more competitive labor markets and can explain 25 percent of the differences in aggregate productivity across countries. We find that about 85 percent of the losses are attributable to the lack of technology adoption induced by weaker labor market competition, suggesting that efficiency losses may be greater than those estimated by previous studies.
