简介：

We study the wage gap between internal migrants and native workers in China's urban labor market. Using employer-employee-linked administrative records from a large city, we estimate a two-way fixed effects model and decompose the average migrant-native wage gap. Compared to natives with the same skills, migrants receive lower pay from the same employers and are less likely to be employed by high-premium employers. These wage-setting and sorting effects contribute to an 8.7-log-point wage penalty for migrants. We then study the role of employer-sponsored hukou (household registration) quotas in determining the wage gap. Following a policy change that decreased the number of quotas by 40%, migrants' wages relative to natives increased by 5.3 log points. The decrease in quotas led to a reduction in workplace amenities for migrants, whose earnings increased relative to those of natives as predicted by the theory of compensating wage differentials. This rise in the wage-setting effect was especially notable among the young, the skilled, and those in the private sector. The quota tightening also induced high-skilled migrants to shift towards the public sector, which was less affected by the quota reduction but on average paid a lower wage premium, and hence, the sorting effect worsened for the migrants. Based on a wage-posting model, we estimate the willingness-to-pay for a quota to be between 2.2 and 3.7 times the average annual earnings. |
