摘要/Abstract

摘要：

本文依据2009年八城市求职网调查数据，区别关系强度和关系资源两种不同的测量，分析这两种测量对入职收入的效应后发现：关系强度与关系资源统计相关，但不能互替。强关系往往带来人情资源，弱关系往往带来信息资源。经济改革前后，信息资源对入职收入均无显著影响，直到改革中期，特别是进入世贸组织后，信息资源才开始对收入产生提升作用。人情资源的收入效应改革前后一直很大，但是进入世贸组织之后，开始受到一定程度的抑制。市场转型过程中，社会网络的收入效应的总趋势是：改革前和改革初，人情资源效应大于信息资源效应，但在改革中期和加入世贸组织之后，前者在减弱，后者在增强。文章最后认为，市场竞争程度、体制不确定性程度和关系拥挤程度是造成这一现象的三大宏观要素，将是学术研究和政策调整的重点所在。

Abstract:

In analyzing the 2009 JobNet Survey conducted in eight largest Chinese cities, we distinguished the measures of tie strength from relational resources to study their effects on the wages upon hiring. We found that tie strength and relational resources were statistically correlated but could not substitute for each other. Strong ties were likely to bring in influential connections and weak ties were likely to generate informational resources. With no impact on the wages upon hiring around the onset of the economic reform, informational resources started to show a positive effect when the reform was furthered, especially when China became a member of the World Trade Organization. The impact of influential connections, on the other hand, was pretty significant around the onset of market reforms but was suppressed to some extent after China entered the WTO. In conclusion, three macro factors of market competition, institutional uncertainty, and denseness of social relationships might be the causes for this change pattern, which should be the focus for scholarly research and policy adjustments.

Key words: wages upon hiring , relational resources , tie strength , economic reform
