本研究在劳动力流动理论的基础上,从新经济地理学角度,阐明了改革开放以后,在中西部经济向东部集聚过程中,经济开放因素对国内劳动力流动的作用,并归纳出三条作用机制:经济开放通过促进区域经济集聚、提高实际工资和增加就业对国内劳动力流动产生作用。运用工具变量2SLS方法并使用中国1990~2005年面板数据对上述三条机制进行了经验检验,结论表明:经济开放对劳动力流动有直接的促进作用,但不太显著,对外贸易的作用大于FDI的作用效果;经济开放通过影响集聚程度、实际工资差距和就业差距来促进劳动力流动的间接影响效果明显,且开放通过影响就业差距而对劳动流动产生的促进作用最大,通过影响实际工资差距的机制次之,通过影响集聚程度的渠道再次。
In this paper,on the basis of labor migration theory,we illustrate the effects of economic openness on domestic labor migration in the process of central and western economy's agglomerating to eastern economy from the perspective of new economic geography.There are three types of mechanism of function,promoting agglomeration of regional economy,increasing real salary,and improving employment's effects on domestic labor migration.By using the method of variable 2SLS,and with empirical test of panel data from 1990 to 2005,it concludes that economic openness has a direct positive effect on labor migration,and its effects on foreign trade is more obvious than that on FDI.It is obvious that economic openness has an indirect effect on labor migration by means of affecting the agglomeration level,real salary gap,and employment gap.And the function of employment gap is more obvious than that of real salary gap and agglomeration.
