This paper utilizes the 1998-2006 Annual Industrial Survey Database from the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) to study the wage spillover effects of technological upgrade of industry in China. We find that technological upgrade on average will exert a positive spillover effect to firms within the industry, though this positive effect will turn negative among state-owned enterprises. We also find that spillover effects differ among firms with different initial technological levels, and these heterogenous effects can be explained by the interactions of positive productivity effects and negative competition effects. |
