摘要: 劳动力因素对公司财务行为的影响越来越受到关注。本文以我国上市公司为研究对象,利用最低工资政策变动的外部事件,分析了劳动力保护对企业风险承担的影响。研究发现,最低工资水平的提高会显著降低上市公司风险承担水平。采用替代企业风险承担度量方法、平衡面板以及构造DID模型后,结论依然稳健。进一步研究发现,在劳动力制约大、劳动力依赖程度高、上年亏损、企业财务状况较差以及管理层薪酬激励不足的公司中,提高最低工资水平会降低上市公司风险承担水平。本文的研究不仅丰富了企业风险承担和劳动力保护政策的相关研究内容,而且对于提高企业风险承担水平和完善劳动力政策提供了新启示。

Abstract: The effect of labor force on corporate financial behavior is attracting more and more attention. Based on Chinese listed companies, this paper analyzes the impact of labor protection on corporate risk-taking by adopting the external events of government minimum wage policy. The study finds that minimum wage is negatively associated with corporate risk-taking. The conclusions remain unchanged after substituting the measurement method of enterprise risk-taking, balancing panel and constructing DID model. Further research shows that the negative effects of minimum wage on corporate risk-taking is pronounced in companies with larger labor constraints, higher labor dependence, losses in the previous year, poor financial situation and insufficient compensation incentives for the management. The research not only enriches relevant research of corporate risk-taking and labor protection policy, but also provides inspiration for increasing corporate risk-taking level and labor policy making.

Key words: labor protection, minimum wage, corporate risk-taking
