摘要

本文研究了 1530 年至 1840 年间中国的长期工资发展。从长期来看，名义工资与物价同步变动，但没有像物价上涨那样迅速做出反应。实际工资在 16 世纪 20 年代至 16 世纪 50 年代和 17 世纪 40 年代至 17 世纪 60 年代经历了两次大幅下降，但在所研究的其余时期保持相对稳定。城乡工资差异表明，农业部门而非城市工业继续吸收剩余劳动力。对中国长江下游地区和英国工资的比较表明，1700 年后工资差距拉大。

Wages, labour markets, and living standards in China, 1530–1840

This article studies the long-term wage development in China between 1530 and 1840. In the long run, nominal wages moved in tandem with prices, but did not respond as quickly as the increase in prices. Real wages experienced two substantial falls between the 1620s-1650s and the 1740s-1760s, but remained relatively stable in the remainder of the period examined. Rural-urban wage disparities suggest that the agricultural sector, rather than urban industries, continued to absorb surplus labour. A comparison of wages in Lower Yangzi China and England suggests that the wage gap widens after 1700.
