本文利用中国家庭收入项目数据，考察了公共部门和国有企业对中国城镇居民工资不平等的影响。运用分位数回归分析、马查多分解和马塔分解，考察了公共部门和国有企业工资结构和就业份额的变化对城镇工资不平等的影响。我们发现，自1990年代末旨在减少人员过剩和提高效率的激进国有部门改革以来，由于国有部门就业份额的减少，城市工资差距缩小；与非国有部门相比，国有部门的工资溢价显著增加；劳动力市场工资结构的变化导致城市工资不平等的加剧。
This paper examines the effect of the public sector and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) on wage inequality in urban China using China Household Income Project data. It applies quantile regression analysis, the Machado and Mata decomposition to investigate how urban wage inequality was affected by the changes in wage structure and employment shares of the public sector and SOEs. We find that since the radical state sector reforms designed to reduce overstaffing and improve efficiency in the late 1990s, urban wage gaps were narrowed due to the reduction in the employment share of the state sector; the wage premium of the state sector in comparison with the non-state sector increased significantly; and changes in the wage structure of the labour market caused the rise in urban wage inequality.
