摘要:This paper develops a dynamic multi-sector model to evaluate the impact of infrastructure investment on wage inequality between skilled and unskilled workers and output growth in China between 2003 and 2007. The model features an infrastructure-driven externality in the production of all goods and a production technology that uses low-skilled labor intensively when producing infrastructure investment goods. Using this model, the numerical analysis shows that the infrastructure investment plays an important role in slowing down the rise in wage inequality, but a limited role in boosting the output level.
