主题：internal migration and firm growth in china（中国的劳动力迁移与企业增长）
摘要：internal migration from rural to urban areas is central to the process of structural transformation. yet, we have little empirical evidence of the role of migration in triggering industrialization. in this paper, we estimate the effect of an increase in labor supply from rural migrants on urban firm growth in china. we use exogenous variations in international prices and climatic conditions to build shocks to agricultural income which we use as instruments for migration flows. using household survey data from a sample of chinese provinces, we find that inflows of migrant workers exert a downward pressure on urban wages. using an annual census of above-scale firms, we next show that migration from rural areas increases firms` profit and value added. these effects are concentrated among the most financially constrained firms.
