摘要
全国文明城市是含金量最高的城市品牌,也是吸引劳动力流入的"金字招牌"。基于2006—2018年中国272个城市的面板数据,将文明城市评比作为一项准自然实验,通过多期双重差分方法,评估文明城市评比对入选城市劳动力流入的政策效应及其作用机制。研究发现:第一,文明城市品牌具有向流动劳动力传递信号的功能,获评文明城市称号的地区能够吸引劳动力流入,该结论在多种稳健性检验与安慰剂检验中依然成立;但文明城市并不是吸引劳动力流入的唯一品牌,低碳城市与创新型城市同样具备城市品牌的信号效应。第二,创建文明城市的过程也是创造公共价值的过程,文明城市评比能够激励地方政府提高包括教育、医疗、文体、交通和环境在内的公共服务供给水平,进而对劳动力流入形成有效拉力。第三,包括行政层级、发展线级、地理位置、经济实力与财政自主在内的城市特质均会影响到文明城市对劳动力的吸引。研究结论既为文明城市创建的公共价值属性提供了理论支持,也为劳动力流动背后的城市品牌原因提供了研究参考。
The "national civilized city" is the city brand with the highest gold content, and it is also the "gold lettered signboard" to attract the inflow of labor force. Based on panel data for 272 cities in China from 2006 to 2018, this paper takes the evaluation of civilized cities as a quasi-natural experiment, and uses the multi-period difference-in-differences model to evaluate the policy effect and mechanism of civilized cities evaluation on the labor inflow of selected cities. The study finds that, first, the "civilized city" label does send a message to the floating labor force, and the places awarded the title of civilized city can attract the labor force. This conclusion remains valid following a variety of robustness and placebo tests. However, the "national civilized city" is not the only brand to attract labor inflow. So-called "low carbon cities" and "innovative cities" are also attractive to labor. Second, the process of creating a civilized city is also the process of creating public value. The evaluation of civilized city can encourage local governments to improve public services, including education, medical care, sports, transportation and the environment, thus forming an effective force to attract labor inflow. Finally, urban characteristics including administrative level, development line level, geographic location, economic strength and financial autonomy will affect the extent to which civilized cities attract labor force. The findings of this paper not only provide theoretical support for the public value of civilized city construction, but also provide research references for the "city brand" reasons behind labor mobility.
