讲座摘要
1. Under planning, China’s wage grid didn’t exist as in industrialized nations, especially within “modern” industries.
2. But the trend since early 1980s has been toward convergence with the typical international structure.
— Why? One explanation provided by Zhao Chen, Ming Lu, Guanghua Wan is that During the period 1995–2002, the evolution of the IWS was attributable to the monopolistic industries of “transportation, storage, post office and communication” and “finance and insurance.”
3. We show that Is the evolution of China’s IWS is not unique, but rather follows the pattern of industrialized economies?.
4. The evolution of China’s industrial wage structure can be explained in terms of the convergence of relative wages to international norms and a similar convergence of industry-unique wage premia (and discounts) that are typical of industries worldwide.
