摘　　要：本文构建一个现代部门技术选择内生的经济结构转变模型，来讨论结构变迁（经济结构转变）与熟练工人和非熟练工人间工资差距的关系。由于现代部门的技术选择内生于劳动力市场的供给结构，经济结构转变既影响劳动力市场的供给结构，又影响其需求结构。本文认为，在经济结构转变过程中，现代部门通过调整其技术结构，可以增加对传统部门剩余劳动力的需求，加快经济增长，同时缩小工资差距。This paper builds a two-sector growth model to investigate interactions between economic structural change and the skilled-unskilled wage gap. We show that when the technological choice in the modern sector is endogenous to the structure of labor supply, structural change affects the wage gap not only through its impact on labor supply, but also through labor demand. We argue that during the process of structural change, it is possible that the modern sector increases its demand for unskilled labor by adjusting its technological structure resulting in both higher growth rates and narrower wage gaps.
