Banking Competition and the Firm Size Distribution-Empirical Analysis on Industrial Enterprise Data ZHI Hong-juan, JIANG Ling 2018 (05):  35-43.  Abstract ( 282 )   PDF (2367KB) ( 778 )   The distribution of firm size is an important research issue in the fields of firm entry, exit and industrial structure adjustment. However, few scholars have studied the issue from the perspective of banking competition. We combine Annual Survey of Industrial Firms of China from 1999 to 2007 and the data of banking competition to empirically test the influence of banking competition on the state of firm size distribution. The results are as follows. First, the Pareto index of the firm size distribution increases year by year, which indicates the overall firm size becomes more and more uniform. Second, the banking competition has unbalanced effect on the growth of firms in different scales and is more favorable to the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises, thus making the distribution more uniform. A series of tests show that the above conclusion are very robust. The research provides a new idea to optimize the firm size distribution and promote the transformation of industrial structure.

Technological Progress, R&D Input and Gender Wage Gap-Based on the empirical analysis of CGSS data HAO Cui-hong, LI Jian-min 2018 (05):  44-54.  Abstract ( 394 )   PDF (2286KB) ( 816 )   In theory, skill-biased technical progress will reduce the importance of motor skills and emphasize the need for cognitive skills. Because men and women have different skill distributions, when technological advances cause relative price changes in different skills, the gender wage gap will also Change has occurred. The study used Chinese general social survey data and provincial-level technological progress data to empirically test the impact of technological progress on the gender wage gap. The analysis shows that technological progress, as measured by R&D investment, helps to narrow the gender wage gap. The same results have been obtained for the regression results by year, education level, occupational skill level, unit nature, and regional group. It is noteworthy that technological progress can help reduce the gender of the labor force with low education level and low professional skills. The key conclusions of this paper also passed the robustness test. References | Related Articles | Metrics

An empirical study on the impact of food safety production on cost-Based on empirical evidence of the data about industrial enterprises XU Cheng-bo, LI Jiang-yi 2018 (05):  64-76.  Abstract ( 198 )   PDF (6245KB) ( 791 )   The food safety is endogenous within behavior of the enterprises. Meat products enterprises were mainly labor-intensive. Meat raw materials, technical level and residents' income had a positive effect on food safety level, but the investment of assets had a weaker negative impact on it. After focusing on food safety production, if the enterprises still adopt the strategy of increasing production, they will pay more cost and face the pain of transformation.There is still room for improvement in safety production after forming a certain economies of scale in food safety production. This change about structural characteristics in the enterprises is influenced by the effect of economies of scale. The paper provides some reference for government to formulate relevant regulatory policies. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The Impacts of Employment Protection Legislation on the Economic Performances of Private Enterprises-Based on the Evidences of Difference in Difference Method JIANG Da-wei, ZHAO Zhong 2018 (05):  77-85.  Abstract ( 217 )   PDF (1803KB) ( 748 )   Based on a private enterprise sample in China, we made use of Difference in Difference method to study the impacts of 2008 Labor Contract Law on the private firms' performances. Compared with micro enterprises, we found that the Labor Contact Law significantly promoted the small and medium private enterprises' annual sales per capita; these effects were more significant in non-foreign trade and poor management small and medium firms. At the same time, we found the evidences that the law didn't cause firms to hire more temporary workers to control the labor costs. On the contrary, the decline of the hiring and firing caused by the law might impel private firms to adjust their human capital strategies and invest more in training which would improve the firms' performances.

Convergence of income gap between urban and rural residents in New UrbanizationT test method based on paired data Li Guang-xi 2018 (05):  96-103.  Abstract ( 246 )   PDF (8155KB) ( 78 )   Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed at a high speed, the rural population has been pouring into the cities, and the process of urbanization has been advancing continuously. In March 2014, the State Council issued the National New Urbanization Plan (2014-2020), marking the beginning of China's new urbanization phase. Academia holds that urbanization enlarges the income gap between urban and rural residents, while the other holds that urbanization helps to narrow the income gap between urban and rural residents. Taking 2013 as the base period and using the t test method of paired data, this paper compares and analyzes the changes in the income gap between urban and rural areas in China since the implementation of the new urbanization plan to 2017. The research results show that since the new urbanization, the income ratio of urban and rural residents in China is decreasing, and the income difference between urban and rural residents is still increasing, that is, the relative gap between urban and rural residents is converging, and the absolute gap between urban and rural residents in China is expanding. Although the relative gap between urban and rural residents' income is narrowing in the development stage of new urbanization, the relative gap between urban and rural residents' income is still higher in our country, so the income difference between urban and rural residents will continue to expand in the future as long as the residents' income continues to grow.
