abstract: 'This paper empirically investigates the labor market effects of China''s
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2007 VAT reform, which significantly reduced the tax cost of capital
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
investment. Employing city-by-year variation in the reform, we
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
demonstrate that the tax cuts increased the earnings of skilled workers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and left the earnings of the unskilled workers unaffected. Moreover, we
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
find limited impacts of the reform on employment for both skill groups.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These results suggest that the tax incentives increased the relative
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
demand for skills, thus resulting in a higher income inequality between
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
skilled and unskilled workers.'
