- Abstract
By presenting a two-sector DGE model, this paper investigates the relative misallocation coefficients for capital and labor within three industries in China from 1993 to 2018, then discusses the effect of factor misallocation and factor substitution elasticity on the labor income share. The following three conclusions were reached. (1) The overall labor income share reduced due to the industrialization before 2007, but after 2007 it increased by promoting the proportion of services. (2) Compared with the situation without barriers, the cross-industry factor misallocation reduced the proportion of labor in manufacturing by 44% during industrialization and in services by 5.05% during de-industrialization, respectively. (3) Eliminating the factor misallocation could raise the labor income share by 4.6% in industrialization, but it shows a weak effect during de-industrialization.
