Abstract

Improving the distribution system is an important objective of China’s economic development at this stage. Capturing the mechanism of the impact of reform and opening up on the labour income share from the perspective of micro enterprises is of great significance for China to achieve structural optimisation of factor income distribution. This paper empirically investigates the impact of foreign direct investment and reform of state-owned enterprises on the share of labour income from 2011 to 2021, using a sample of A-share listed companies in China and incorporating labour heterogeneity into the analysis framework, and examining the impact of foreign direct investment and reform of state-owned enterprises on the share of labour income from two paths: “average wage” and “labour productivity”. The impact of OFDI and SOE reforms on labour income shares is investigated empirically along the paths of “average wage” and “labour productivity”. The study finds that both OFDI and SOE reforms significantly increase the labour income share, and that labour quality has a significant moderating effect by optimising their paths of action.
