摘要/Abstract

摘要： 市场竞争结构变化对收入差距有显著影响,强化市场竞争有利于缩小行业内收入差距。理论分析表明,市场竞争一方面能够提升行业对低技能的需求和价格、提高低收入劳动者收入,另一方面会挤压高收入劳动者分享的垄断利润租,降低他们的技能价格和收入,最终实现行业内收入差距缩小。基于上市公司数据和中国综合社会调查（CGSS）数据的实证分析进一步验证了上述机理。这表明“竞争性市场体系”和“公平收入分配体系”的共同建设有着坚实的理论基础,继续强化市场竞争有利于进一步缩小收入差距,实现共同富裕。

Abstract: The changes in market competition can have a significant impact on the income gap. Strengthening market competition is beneficial to decreasing intro-industrial income gap. The results of a theoretical analysis reveal that market competition can on one hand improve industrial demands and prices on low skills and increase the income of low-income labors, on other hand, it can also squeeze the monopoly profit rent shared by the high-income labors and decrease their skill prices and income, and finally, the intro-industrial income gap will be narrowed. The empirical analysis based on the data of listed companies and Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) further verifies the above-mentioned mechanism. This finding shows that the building of the competitive market system and the fair income distribution system has solid theoretical foundation and that to keep strengthening market competition can further help to narrow the income gap and achieve common prosperity.

Key words: market competition, income gap, labor heterogeneity
