摘　　要：作为人力资本"非认知能力"(non-cognitive skills)的重要因素,人格经济学已成为劳动力市场研究的新兴热点。在系统梳理现有研究成果的基础上,本文运用"中国企业—员工匹配调查"(CEES)数据,就"大五"人格特征对于劳动力工资的影响效应进行了基于微观一手调查数据的实证检验。基准回归结果表明,开放性、严谨性等积极的人格特征对于劳动力工资具有显著的促进作用,而对于现阶段中国劳动力市场而言,以开放性为代表的创新型人格特征较为稀缺,其对于工资收入的边际贡献更为明显。在此基础上,本文以开放性人格特征为例,选取处理效应的识别策略,就人格特征对于劳动力工资的因果效应进行了稳健性检验。估计结果表明,开放性人格特征对于工资收入的促进效应均在至少5%显著性水平上满足因果推断的统计要求,而以员工冒险精神、风险偏好指数作为开放性人格特征的替代变量,也得到了相似的估计结果。Summary ： In recent years, personality psychology has been integrated into economics, and a large number of papers have discussed the effects of workers＇ personality traits on their wages, skills, performance and even health-related behavior. However, almost all of these papers have been based on empirical evidence from developed economies. The reason is a lack of large survey samples that include information about workers＇ personality traits, behavior and outcomes in the labor market in most developing countries, especially China. Moreover, although a few papers have researched the statistical correlation between workers＇ personality traits and wages, we believe that this paper is the first to conduct empirical analyses of the causal effects of personality traits on workers＇ compensation in the Chinese labor market. Due to the lack of high-quality matched employer-employee survey data, it has been very difficult for research on the effects of workers＇ personality traits on behavior to effectively solve the endogeneity problem, such as selectivity bias and omitted variable bias resulting from the unobserved characteristics of essential firms and workers.
