讲座摘要:
In rich microdata, I document that Chinese firms often simultaneously fire workers while investing in capital. After such capital substitution episodes, firm labor productivity increases, labor share drops, and skill intensity increases. A model in which firms adopt new skill-intensive technology through investment in capital upgrading naturally rationalizes each of these facts, linking capital substitution events to technological change. Empirically, trade liberalization shocks reduce capital substitution at Chinese firms, raising the possibility that trade liberalization may delay short-run growth. In light of these facts, I build a quantitative general equilibrium model with heterogeneous firms, capital upgrading through substitution events, and trade liberalization shocks. After liberalization, strategically delayed capital upgrading by firms pushes technological and consumption gains further into the future, expanding the horizon over which trade gains manifest themselves.
