项目摘要

A remarkable feature of internal promotion in Japan is saidto lie in the fact that in choosing candidates for higher managerial positions Japanese firms attach importance to whether or not the candidates join the companies fresh from school, that is whether they are so called "Haenuki"or not. The aim of my research is to ascertain the existence and the extent of this promotion practice and also to investigate how much wages increase when employees are promoted to higher positions. The data used in this research are the micro-data from Labor Ministry's Basic Statistical Survey on Wage Structure.Main findings for internal promotion system are as follows. (1) Haenuki is promoted to higher positions faster than non-Haenuki. (2) Aging and slower rate of growth of the Japanese economy after the first oil crisis have decreased promotion speed much more for Haenuki than for non-Haenuki. (3) Unfavorable effects of work experience at other firms on promotion speed have also weakened after the first oil crisis. The facts (2) and (3) could be interpreted as a sign of declining lifetime employment system.Regression analysis of internal wage structure clarifies following facts. (1) The regression model including tenure and age as major independent variables yields higher coefficient of determination than that which takes tenure and external experience into account. (2) Age factor plays an important role in Japanese wage structure. (3) The higher the managerial position, the larger the effect of age on wages. The second fact seems to suggest that the cost-of-living compensation hypothesis is still prevalent in the Japanese economy.

据说，日本内部晋升的一个了不起的特征是，在选择高级管理职位的候选人时，日本公司对候选人是否加入了新鲜学校的公司的重视，那就是他们是否被称为“ Haenuki”。我的研究的目的是确定这种晋升实践的存在和程度，并研究当员工晋升为更高职位时的工资增加了多少。这项研究中使用的数据是劳动部关于工资结构的基本统计调查的微数据。内部促进系统的发现如下。（1）Haenuki比非Haenuki更快地提升到更高的位置。（2）在第一次石油危机后，日本经济的衰老和较慢的增长率降低了促进速度的促销速度要比非haenuki多得多。（3）在第一次石油危机之后，其他公司对促销速度的工作经验的不利影响也减弱了。事实（2）和（3）可以解释为终生就业系统下降的标志。内部工资结构的回归分析阐明了事实。（1）包括任期和年龄在内的回归模型比考虑任期和外部经验的确定系数更高。（2）年龄因素在日本工资结构中起重要作用。（3）管理职位越高，年龄对工资的影响越大。第二个事实似乎表明，在日本经济中，生活成本的假设仍然普遍存在。
