摘要: 随着以互联网为代表的信息技术的发展,“互联网+”对传统就业模式产生了重要的影响,进而改变了劳动力迁移的模式和就业特征。本文利用2013—2017年“全国流动人口卫生计生动态监测调查”数据与地级市的特征数据,研究了城市互联网的发展对于劳动力流动的影响。估计结果显示,城市互联网发展显著促进了劳动力的流动,特别是低技能劳动力的流动。本文使用工具变量处理了潜在的内生性问题,结果依然稳健。本文还考察了个体背景变量和城市特征的异质性影响,发现城市互联网发展主要影响农村劳动力的流动,女性、年轻和低技能劳动力的迁移决策受互联网发展的影响更大,且大中城市的互联网发展对于劳动力更具吸引力。进一步,本文从互联网发展的信息平台效应、溢出效应和心理成本效应三个视角分析了城市互联网发展影响劳动力流动的机制。本文的实证研究结论为“互联网+”背景下劳动力的迁移行为提供了一定的解释,也为制定伴随着人口流动的城市化公共政策提供了现实依据。

Abstract: With the development of Internet, “Internet+” is playing an important role in the traditional employment pattern. This paper uses “the Dynamic Monitoring and Survey of National Mobile Population Health and Family Planning” data dated from 2013 to 2017 and the city-level data to study the impact of urban Internet development on labor mobility. The estimation results show that urban Internet development has significantly increased the immigration of labors, especially low-skilled labors. Meanwhile, the paper applies the instrumental variables to deal with potential endogeneity problems, and the results remain robust. We also examine the heterogeneity impact of individual background variables, and find that urban Internet development mainly affects the immigration of rural labors, and female and young labors’ decisions are more subject to Internet development than male and older laborers. The paper also analyzes the mechanisms of Internet development affecting labor mobility from three perspectives: information platform effect, spillover effect and psychological cost effect . The conclusions of this paper not only explain the migration pattern of labors in the background of “ Internet +”, but also provide some theoretical base for the formulation of urbanization policies.
