内容提要最低工资水平的上涨既有可能加剧企业负担,削弱企业竞争优势;也有可能逼迫企业创新,促进产业转型。本文通过使用2002-2006年民营企业调查数据首次实证检验最低工资标准变化对民营企业创新行为的影响。研究结果表明,最低工资标准的提高促进了民营企业的研发意愿,同时企业自我研发产品数目和新产品数目都有显著提高。进一步,我们发现最低工资标准的提高对不同类别企业的影响存在显著差异。最低工资的作用对于劳动密集型企业、中小企业和议价能力较弱的企业尤为显著。本文的研究为最低工资制度的制定与调整提供实证依据。 
AbstractUsing private enterprises survey data from 2002-2006, this paper investigates the impact of minimum wage on firm innovation. We use R&D spending as a percentage of totals sales to measure the willingness of innovation. Besides, given the availability of data on the number of own design products as well as on the number of patents, we are able to measure the outcome of innovation. Our findings are in response to the increases in minimum wage rate, firms spend more on R&D activities and the number of own design products as well as the number of patents are also significantly increased. In particular, the results show that medium and small firms, labor intensive firms and firms with lower market power are more significantly affected by minimum wage increase and thus react more innovatively.
