9 An Evaluation of Employment Elasticity Based on Disguised Unemployment in China Jian Xinhua and Yu Jiang (Center for Economic Development Research, Center for Population, Resource and Environment Economic Research, Wuhan University) Abstract :Due to the Disguised Unemployment in the enterprises of China, it is necessary to consider the influence of excessive employment. Therefore the authors build a model to analyse the influence of excessive employment on employment elasticity. Based on the model, the authors re2evaluate the employment elasticity of china from 1980 to 2002 by relative statistics. The conclusion shows the employment elasticity of China since 1995 doesn t reduce.

Developing countries come into contact with relatively more skill2biased technology knowledge, hence, the productivity of skill2complementary technology production increases relatively faster than the one of unskill2complementary technology production. That is, learning effect is biased. Because technology knowledge production is skill2intensive, the learning effect increases the demand for skilled labor and the wage inequality. Moreover the biased learning effect leads to more skill2biased technology change, therefore, in favor of skilled labor and raising skill premium. Key Words :Trade Liberalization ; Learning Effect ; Skill Premium JEL Classification :F160, O410, J310 ( :) ( : ) 141
