INDUSTRIAL AGGLOMERATION AND EMPLOYER COMPLIANCE WITH SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTION: EVIDENCE FROM CHINA
利用2001-2007年中国制造业企业数据，研究发现产业集聚程度越高的地区，企业缴纳养老金的合规水平越高，为理解集聚经济的社会效益提供了新证据。
ABSTRACT This paper, by using annual surveys of Chinese manufacturing firms from 2001 to 2007, investigates the relationship between industrial agglomeration and employer compliance with required pension contributions. The result of panel fixed‐effect estimation shows that in the more agglomerated industrial areas, firms comply with pension mandates at a higher level. Our finding is robust to various specifications and estimations employing instrumental variables.
