内容摘要：Before 2007, domestic firms in China can deduct their monthly wage payments as production cost (from taxable income) only up to a certain statutory limit under the Corporate Income Tax scheme. This nonlinear tax policy links to firm-level monthly average wage payment, and may distort firms’ employment structure and hence their productivity. Using the 2004 Economic Census, we find clear evidence of bunching in the distribution of firm-level monthly average wage around the statutory deduction limit. The policy decreased the ratio of skilled and unskilled employment by around 6%. Firms’ productivity declined by around 2%, especially for private firms. Using a model incorporating endogenous employment structure and false employment, we estimated the elasticity of substitution between skilled and unskilled labor to range from 1 to 3.
