中文摘要
当经济体经历贸易自由化等重大转型时，阻碍要素流动的经济制度会变得成本更高。本文以中国户籍制度为背景，研究贸易如何触发规范国内迁移的劳动制度变革。利用新收集的地级市层面迁移政策数据集，本文记录了加入WTO后亲移民法规的增加，并估计了2001年至2007年地级市出口关税对迁移法规的影响。研究发现，面临更多出口市场自由化的地区出台了更多对流动人口友好的法规。
Abstract
Abstract Economic institutions that impede factor mobility become more costly when an economy experiences substantial transitions such as trade liberalization. I study how trade triggers changes in labor institutions that regulate internal migration in the context of China’s Hukou system. Using a newly collected dataset on prefecture-level migration policies, I document an increase in promigrant regulations following WTO entry and estimate the impact of prefecture-level tariffs on exports on migration regulations from 2001 to 2007. I find that regions facing more export market liberalization enacted more migrant-friendly regulations.
