摘　　要：运用2008年农村外出劳动力的收入数据(RUMiCI),本文分析我国不同规模城市的工资升水是否存在,并探讨其产生的内在机制。研究发现控制住劳动者的可观测能力特征,城市规模的工资升水并不大,而进一步考虑劳动者的不可观测能力特征和选择偏差问题,大城市劳动者的收入优势不再存在,甚至可能出现收入劣势。大城市的互动效应和学习效应只部分地得到证明。论文为城市聚集的劳动力市场影响、劳动力在不同规模城市间的合理配置以及城市间劳动者收入差距的缩小等问题提供了启示。Using the Rural to Urban Migrant Survey data （RUMiCI 2008）, this paper tests if wage premium exists among different scale cities in China, and further explores the underlying mechanism. We find that after controlling for observable characteristics, wage premium narrows. Further considering the unobservable characteristics and selection bias, urban wage premium no longer exists, and even becomes a wage disadvantage. The coordination hypothesis and the learning hypothesis are only partially demonstrated. This paper sheds some new light on the issues of impact of urban development on labor market, which efficiently allocates labor among different scale cities, and narrows regional wage differentials.
