摘　　要：改革开放以来,近似于无限供给的低成本劳动力资源一直是中国经济赖以快速发展的重要比较优势。中国的制造业企业会不会因为较低的劳动力成本而缺乏创新的动力,进而导致"中国制造"难以向"中国创造"转型呢?利用2007 2013年516家制造业上市公司的面板数据,检验了实际工资水平对企业创新行为的影响。研究发现:(1)实际工资水平的提升有利于促进企业增加创新方面的支出;(2)实际工资增加带来的人力资本质量提升效应比要素替代效应具有更强的创新激励作用。因此,可以通过调整收入分配政策实现对创新的激励。Since the Reform and Opening-up, China economy＇s rapid development has been dependent on the comparative advantages of labor which is low in cost and similar to be unlimitedly supplied. Uner such circumstances, are China manufacturing enterprises lack of incentive to innovation？ In this paper, using panel data of 516 listed manufacturing companies from 2007 to 2013, we examine the influence of level of real wages on the enterprise innovation behavior. Our empirical research findings include： （1）the relationship between the increase of real wages and the expenditure of R＆D is positive; （2）as real wages increasing, human capital upgrading effect has more incentive effect on innovation activities than factor substitution. Our study provides useful perspective and preliminary empirical evidence for the understanding of the effect of income distribution on the construction of innovative country.
