J Curve Effect Of Labor Transfer

Many scholars have focused on Chinese labor transfer, which has greatly increased in scale and put huge influences on Chinese economy, as well as on Chinese rural economy. Those scholars have made many researches on such labor transfer. All these researches concluded that labor transfer has extremely important impact on increasing rural resident's income. But most of the researchers put forth effort on qualitative analyses, or on changes of the income structure, or on the interactive mechanisms of the factors that had influence on labor movement. So though they have drawn many significant conclusions, they didn't tell how much rural per capita income would change due to a certain increase in labor transfer, so as to make clear the quantitative relation between the two variables.In practical economy, the influence of labor transfer on rural resident's income shows a certain rule. Rural per capita income will increase as the scale of labor transfer grows. But the growth rate of income is higher than the growth rate of the proportion of labor transfer. Due to the differences in growth rate, as the proportion of labor transfer rises, the sample regression curve of the two variables shows a tendency to slope upwards gradually, just look like the letter J. Chinese data show that such phenomena are apparent and steady. So J curve relation may reveal the internal relation between labor transfer and rural resident's income.Based on such J curve phenomena, this paper put efforts on discussing the fundamental economic relation between labor transfer and rural resident's income,...
