【内容摘要】
Reallocation of workers across firms was extremely restricted under the so-called “Iron Rice Bowl”: system in China before its state-owned enterprises (SOE) reform in the late 1990s. An average worker spent 80% of her work life in one single firm in 1995; this number decreased to below 30% in 2018. This paper revisits this reform through the lens of a heterogeneous firm model with a frictional labor market. We first show how the old system leads to labor misallocation and efficiency loss for SOEs, and then evaluate the impact of reform-induced worker reallocation across firms, along both the intensive and extensive margins, on aggregate productivity.
