摘要

目的本文旨在从理论上探讨投资是否可以缩小印度的正式-非正式工资差距。设计/方法/方法本文建立了一个包含大型非正规部门和资本密集型正规部门的发展中经济的一般均衡模型,该模型包含了内生需求。发现有了相似偏好、较小的初始工资溢价和弹性的相对需求,对正规部门的投资可能会缩小工资差距,但非相似偏好的差距仍然存在。然而,对非正规部门的投资不太可能通过任何一种偏好来缩小工资差距。原创性/价值尽管发展中经济体劳动力市场扭曲导致正式的非正规工资差距在发展文献中有充分的记录,但很少关注这种差距是否会随着时间的推移而缩小的问题。

Investment and wage gap in India: a general equilibrium analysis
Purpose This paper aims to theoretically find out whether investments could close the formal-informal wage gap in India. Design/methodology/approach The paper builds a general equilibrium model of a developing economy with a large informal sector and a capital-intensive formal sector with sector-specific capital and incorporates endogenous demand. Findings With homothetic preferences, a small initial wage premium and elastic relative demand, investment in the formal sector is likely to close the wage gap, but the gap persists with non-homothetic preferences. However, investment in the informal sector is unlikely to close the wage gap with either type of preferences. Originality/value Though labour market distortions in developing economies leading to a formal-informal wage gap are well-documented in the development literature, little attention has been given to the question of whether such a gap would close over time.
