本文考察了投资税补贴对资本品工人劳动力市场的影响。使用税收资本成本变化较大的十年(1979-1988)的数据，结果表明，对投资的税收补贴推高了资本品工人的工资。例如，10%的投资税收抵免使这类工人的相对工资平均提高了2.5%-3.0%，相对于其他行业的可比制造业工人，某些类型的工人增加了更多。工资上涨构成了资本品供应上升曲线的重要组成部分，反映出生产工人在不同行业的短期流动性并不完美。
This paper looks at the impact of investment tax subsidies on the labor market for capital goods workers. Using data during a decade with considerable variation in the tax cost of capital (1979-1988), the results show that tax subsidies to investment drive up capital goods workers' wages. A10 percent investment tax credit, for example, raises the relative wages of such workers, on average, by 2.5 percent -3.0 percent relative to comparable manufacturing workers in other sectors and more for certain types of workers. Rising wages make up an important part of the rising supply curve for capital goods and reflects imperfect short-run mobility of production workers across sectors.
