最低工资标准提升的溢出效应

 依据中国健康与营养调查数据，本文应用微观经济计量方法考察了我国最低工资标准提升的溢出效应。研究表明：最低工资提升对男性和女性工资的溢出效应可以分别达到最低工资的1.50倍和1.25倍；随着相对工资区间的升高，溢出效应呈现逐渐下降的趋势；最低工资执行力度越大，溢出效应越明显。因此，政府通过适当上调最低工资，同时加大对最低工资法规执行的监管，将有助于低收入群体工资水平的提高，进而有助于抑制城镇居民收入差距的持续扩大。

Spillover Effects of Minimum Wages Increase

In this paper, by using data from China Health and Nutrition Survey and microeconometric methods, we study spillover effects of minimum wages increase in China. The results indicate that spillover effects of minimum wages increase can reach to 1.50 and 1.25 times of minimum wages on male and female wage distribution respectively; spillover effects on both male and female tend to decrease with the increase of relative wage interval; stronger implementation of minimum wages regulation tends to increase spillover effects. As a result, by increasing minimum wage appropriately and enforcing the implementation of minimum wages regulation, local government can increase the wage level of low-income groups while restrain income disparity of urban residents.
