摘要: 随着经济发展,我国靠传统物质资本投资拉动经济增长的方式需要改变。而此时,人力资本、社会资本作为经济增长的内生变量,其作用受到越来越多学者的关注。本文基于资本投资决策理论,以农民工为对象,利用调查数据,采用有序Logistic模型,对投资影响因子展开深入分析,探讨决定微观个体人力资本、社会资本投资的主要影响因素。结果表明,工资性收入显著影响人力资本、社会资本的投资,工资性收入每增加一个单位,投资则增加0.5个单位。农民工动机内容影响资本投资,越倾向返回农村则投资性越强。人力资本禀赋、性别、生命周期对农民工的人力资本投资有显著影响,对社会资本投资影响不大。研究揭示了农民工在人力资本投资上是理性经济人行为,对投入产出具有理性的权衡;而对社会资本的认知和行为要弱于人力资本。Abstract: With the fast economic development, the traditional growth pattern of physical capital investment-led economy needs to be changed. While human capital and social capital as an endogenous variables of economic growth have attracted more and more attention. Based on the theory of capital investment and using the migrant worker survey data,this study applied the Logistic model to analyze the main influencing factors of investments on both individual human capital and social capital. Results showed that 1) the direct wage income is a major factor affecting the investments on both human capital and social capital. The wage income coefficient is 0.5, meaning the investment of migrant workers increases by 0.5 units with 1 unit of wage income increase; 2) the future plans of migrant workers have a significant influence on investment behaviors of migrant workers and those who plan to go back to rural area in the future tend to invest more; and 3) human capital endowment, gender, and life cycle of migrant workers also have remarkable impacts on human capital investment, but less impacts on social capital investment. The study also found that migrant workers exhibit rational behaviors on human capital investment and will find the optimal balance between investment and expected outcome. However, migrant workers are pretty weak for the cognition and behavioral decisions on the social capital investment.
