My research includes two essays on Chinese labor markets. In the first essay, I examine how minimum wage increase impacted employment in China in 2011 and 2012, using data from China General Social Survey. I compare employment changes in provinces with large and small minimum wage increases. I find a minimum wage increase has a small and statistically insignificant negative employment effect for two at-risk groups of workers. In Eastern China, minimum wage increase has insignificantly adverse effect on both groups. But in Central and Western China, minimum wage increase positively promotes job opportunities. In the second essay, I analyze the effect of body weight on hourly wages in China by using data from China Health and Nutrition Survey. I find significantly positive effect of body weight on an individual's hourly wage for male workers. As for females, I find that body weight is negatively related to hourly wages.

This dissertation examines the central features of the current Chinese labor market, investigates the functioning of China's labor market by constructing a theoretical model, and conducts a comprehensive welfare economic analysis using the model to study welfare consequences of various labor market policies. The dissertation consists of six chapters. Following the introduction of Chapter 1, Chapter 2 reviews key features of the current Chinese labor market based on previous literature, including labor market segmentation, household registration system, wage evolution, employment structure, etc. However, previous studies have not provided a satisfactory answer about the extent of hukou-based labor market discrimination in firms with different ownerships. Chapter 3 fills in this gap by providing more convincing empirical evidence on this particular feature using a double-selectivity approach. The results show that state-owned enterprises (SOE) are much more discriminatory than private firms against rural-to-urban migrants who carry their rural hukou to cities. The SOE sector practices both wage and hiring discrimination against rural hukou holders. Based on these empirical results, Chapter 4 constructs a theoretical model for the current Chinese labor market. The model has two geographically distinct areas (urban and rural), three segmented economic sectors (SOE, private, and agriculture), and two types of workers distinguished by the hukou status (urban and rural hukou). The paper first formulates the model and obtains a closed form solution before modeling any policy interventions. Chapter 5 then works out the labor market and welfare consequences of three policy interventions which include promoting rural development, reducing the cost-of-living in urban areas for rural hukou holders, and offering some rural workers the chance to convert from rural to urban hukou status. The policy analysis includes small increases in each of these three areas, followed by the allocation of a specified development budget among these three alternative uses. It is shown that the rural development policy is unambiguously welfare-improving, while the other two policies have ambiguous effects on social welfare. Chapter 6 concludes.

China’s joining the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001 signifies a milestone in the country’s global integration after two decades of economic reforms that have fundamentally transformed the economic organization of China. This collection seeks to identify the gendered implications within China of the country’s transition from socialism to a market economy and its opening up to international trade and investment. The changes have created greater wealth for some, while at the same time, serious gender, class, ethnic, and regional disparities have also emerged. Drawing from historical, analytical, and policy-oriented work, the essays in this collection explore women’s well-being relative to men’s in rural and urban China by looking at land rights, labor-market status and labor rights, household decision-making, health, the representation of women in advertising and beauty pageants. This book was previously published as a special issue of the journal, Feminist Economics, the official journal of the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE). All contributions have been subjected to the journal's rigorous peer review process and comply with the journal's editorial policies, as overseen by the editor, Diana Strassmann, and the journal's editorial team, including the associate editors, the editorial board, numerous volunteer reviewers, and the journal's in-house editorial staff and freelance style editors.

This research focuses on the effects of the development of transportation on different groups of people in China. Chapter 2 estimates the effects of transportation development on differences in labor market outcomes by ethnicity. The primary methodology I applied for this study is the difference-in-difference method. The common types of transportation in China are highway and high-speed rail. Therefore, this study investigates the combined effects of highway and high-speed rail. The estimates of the development of transportation may be biased because the Chinese government conducted many policies to benefit the western and central regions and young people. Thus, this research also employs the triple-difference strategy to estimate whether these policies have additional effects on different outcomes via the channel of highway and high-speed rail. Chapter 2 finds that highway and high-speed rail can reduce gaps in earnings, migration, and weekly working hours between minorities and Han. In addition, this chapter analyzes different types of jobs, such as tenured jobs, industrial jobs, agricultural jobs, self-employment jobs, and service jobs. The results reveal that highway plays a more significant role in decreasing disparities between minorities and Han than high-speed rail. Chapter 3 investigates the effects on the youth labor market. The International Labor Organization (ILO) and Chinese national census define youth as aged 15 to 24. I find that high-speed rail and highway connections increase education and the employment rate of youth. However, highway and high-speed rail have no impact on annual earnings and the probability of having a job with an employment contract for youth.

A century of complex relations between Communists and workers in China In 2021, the Chinese Communist Party celebrated a century of existence. Since the Party’s humble beginnings in the Marxist groups of the Republican era to its current global ambitions, one thing has not changed for China’s leaders: their claim to represent the vanguard of the Chinese working class. Spanning from the night classes for workers organised by student activists in Beijing in the 1910s to the labour struggles during the 1920s and 1930s; from the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution to the social convulsions of the reform era to China’s global push today, this book reconstructs the contentious history of labour in China from the early twentieth century to this day (and beyond). This will be achieved through a series of essays penned by scholars in the field of Chinese society, politics, and culture, each one of which will revolve around a specific historical event, in a mosaic of different voices, perspectives, and interpretations of what constituted the experience of being a worker in China in the past century.

"This thesis is composed of three studies that examine three different aspects of the modern urban labor market in China: State-owned Enterprises (SOE) wage premium, employment and labor mobility, and public-sector reforms. The first chapter studies the SOE wage premium in the period 1995-2013. It uses the latest data and methods to estimate the premium. Evidence suggests that SOE wage premium has diminished and become insignificant since late 1990s and estimates in previous research are biased. The second chapter studies the employment and mobility patterns in the period 2010-2014. Evidence reveals significant heterogeneity in employment and mobility outcomes between demographic and educational groups. The last chapter studies the economic consequences of counterfactual public-sector policies. It rationalizes the observed data pattern in a job search framework and quantifies the effects of counterfactual employment and wage policies in public sector on unemployment and labor income distribution in the urban areas. Simulation results suggest that changing public-sector employment rules has a smaller effect on unemployment than changing public-sector wage rules. " --

This thesis studies empirically several issues regarding the functioning of local labor markets. In Chapter 1, I follow the methodology developed by Autor, Dorn, and Hanson (2013) to estimate the impact of Chinese imports competition onto French local labor markets, with an emphasis on the spill-overs e ects beyond the manufacturing sector on the structure of employment and wages. Local employment and total labor income in both manufacturing and non-manufacturing are negatively a ected by rising exposure to imports. Imports competition from China polarized the local structure of employment in the manufacturing sector. Hourly wages distribution is negatively a ected but overall wage dispersion is not increased. The non-traded sector even experiences a decrease in lower-tail inequality. Exploiting geographical variation in the bite of the minimum wage, I nd evidence suggesting that the minimum wage explains this e ect. In Chapter 2, I use a re nement of empirical strategy in Chapter 1 to look at whether communities suddenly a ected by rising economic integration with low-wage countries tended to vote more for the far-right parties over the last four French presidential elections. I nd evidence of a small but signi cantly positive impact of imports competition exposure on votes for the far-right: a one standard-deviation increase in imports-per-worker causes the change in the far-right share to increase by 7 percent of a standard deviation. Further results suggest that this e ect has been increasing over the time period considered. We conduct a simple sensitivity test supporting the notion that (i) omitting local share of immigrants is likely to bias our estimate downward, and that (ii) this bias is likely to negligible. In Chapter 3, co-authored with Camille H emet, we study the impact of local diversity on labour market outcomes, at two di erent level of aggregation: local labor market and i immediate neighborhood. We nd that employment correlates positively with local labor market diversity, but negatively with neighborhood diversity. Using an instrumental variable approach to deal with local labor market diversity drives the positive correlation to zero, con rming the suspicion of self-selection. Regarding neighborhood diversity, we adopt the strategy of Bayer et al. (2008), taking advantage of the very precise localization of the data: the negative e ect of diversity is reinforced. We also show that nationality-based diversity matters more than parents' origin-based diversity, giving insights on the underlying mechanisms. In Chapter 4, co-authored with Camille H emet, we exploit some speci cities of the French Labor Force Survey, in order to detect the presence of referral networks among neighbors. We show the presence of referral networks, provide extensive robustness checks and investigate two rather understudied issues in the literature: (i) what kind of job transition are local referrals associated with (job-to-job or unemployment-to-job), (ii) how has the strength of local referral e ects evolved overtime?
