1704515205 创造性破坏的力量 6.结论
1704515206
1704515207 在本章,我们分析了创新、不平等与税收政策之间的联系,并得出了几个结论。首先,有多种测算不平等的方法:收入分配中的顶层群体(如顶层1%)所占的收入份额;衡量总体收入不平等程度的基尼系数,即一个国家的现实状况同人人收入相同的理想状况的对比;父母收入同子女收入之间的关联度,则是反映社会流动性水平的动态不平等指标。
1704515208
1704515209 其次,创新会扩大顶层收入不平等,其他一些因素也会造成类似结果,尤其是产业进入壁垒与游说活动。创新具有不可否认的正面效应,如促进增长,与社会流动性呈正相关,且对基尼系数并无显著影响。游说活动则恰恰相反,既会打击创新与增长,又使总体不平等恶化。
1704515210
1704515211 我们探讨了创新企业起到的社会阶梯的作用,特别是对低技能员工。因此,政府可以鼓励企业创造优质的工作岗位,对员工做有益的职业培训,特别是针对最欠缺技能的员工,以提高社会流动性。
1704515212
1704515213 税收是促进增长及其包容性不可或缺的工具,这既是因为它让政府有财力投资于教育、医疗、研究和基础设施等增长杠杆,也源于政府可通过税收实施财富再分配,并保护人们免受失业、疾病和技能淘汰等异质性风险,以及战争、金融危机和大流行病等宏观经济风险。[26]当然,这一工具必须谨慎使用,除专栏5.2中介绍的税收对社会流动性的短期效应尚未被证实外,过高的税收还可能打击创新,妨碍经济增长。[27]
1704515214
1704515215 最后要提示的一点是,本章没有涉及参与创新活动的不平等问题,尤其是一个人成为创新者的概率在多大程度上取决于其出身,以及父母的收入、教育和职业类型?我们将在第10章回到这个问题,并讨论教育政策与创新政策在发挥增长和社会流动性杠杆作用上的互补性。

1704515231 [8]Charles Jones和Jihee Kim利用创造性破坏范式来解释顶层收入群体的动态不平等。他们认为增长既来自在位企业获得的经验积累,也来自新企业进入带来的创造性破坏。前者会加剧不平等,而后者会减少不平等。参见Charles I. Jones and Jihee Kim,“A Schumpeterian Model of Top Income Inequality,”JournalofPoliticalEconomy126, no. 5(2018):1785 -1826.
