【摘要】：吉芬商品源于英国经济学家罗伯特·吉芬对爱尔兰土豆市场规律的特殊认识,具体表现为商品的价格与其销量呈现正向关系。目前,学界突破了对上述吉芬商品的认识,一些学者用吉芬行为来替代之。迄今为止,学界对吉芬行为的探讨就未中断过,其关键在于缺少现实中存在性的证据。由此,本文基于广义虚拟经济的视角,以北京市消费者的家庭服务雇用行为为例,对吉芬行为存在性进行了探析。结果表明,当额外工作时间比率位于0.1~0.3之间时,消费者对家庭服务人员雇用时间会随雇用价格的上涨而增加,即存在着吉芬行为。最后,为了规避家庭服务业中存在的"吉芬陷阱",本文提出相关政策建议。
[Abstract]:Giffin's commodity originated from the special understanding of Irish potato market law by British economist Robert Giffin, which shows that the price of goods has a positive relationship with its sales. At present, the academic world has broken through the above-mentioned Jifen commodity understanding, some scholars use the Gifen behavior to replace it. So far, the academic research on Giffin's behavior has not stopped, the key lies in the lack of evidence of existence in reality. Therefore, based on the perspective of generalized virtual economy, this paper makes an analysis of the existence of Giffin's behavior by taking the domestic service employment behavior of Beijing consumers as an example. The results show that when the ratio of extra working hours is between 0.1 and 0.3, the employment time of domestic service workers increases with the increase of employment price. Finally, in order to avoid the "Jifen trap" existing in the family service industry, this paper puts forward the relevant policy recommendations.
