Throughout an international comparison of labor costs, we found that the Chinese economic power or international competitiveness mainly came from the relative low wage rate. Meanwhile, the comparison showed a decreasing trend of labor cost per unit and an increasing trend of labor productivity which meant the competitiveness of Chinese industry as a whole was improved in the comparative period. However, using the datasets of Liaoning Industrial Enterprises Surveys, we found that industrial competitiveness are quiet different between the State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and the Non-State-Owned Enterprises (NonSOEs), the Reformed SOEs and the Un-reformed SOEs. An analysis on the differences of labor cost and productivities among enterprises shows that returns to capital investment tends to be equal as well as returns to labor input trend to be different among enterprises. Meanwhile, the result shows that returns to labor are the lowest for the Un-reformed State Owned Enterprises and the highest for the Non-SOEs, amusing the reformed SOEs on the average level. Consequently this is the most important source causing the differences of competitiveness among enterprises in China.}, pages = {15--48}, title = {A Comparative Study on the Competitiveness of Chinese Industrial Enterprise}, volume = {56}, year = {2009} }
