本文根據總體經濟學的文獻，提出三個問題來了解臺灣勞工薪資的變化。首先我們用勞動所得份額的趨勢來討論勞動與資本所得分配是否惡化？第二，我們計算實質勞動薪資與實質平均每人國內生產毛額的相關係數來討論勞動薪資是否與國民所得產生脫鉤的現象？我們不僅討論景氣波動，同時考慮成長趨勢下二者的連動狀況。第三，我們觀察薪資與邊際勞動生產力的差距與變化，探討廠商是否依據勞動生產力提供合理的勞動報酬？另外，為釐清這些薪資的問題是否為臺灣獨有，我們也將臺灣勞動所得結果之觀察與鄰近國家的現象做系統性的比較。

This   paper   sheds   light   on   three   important   issues   in   the   macroeconomics   literature,   and   comes   to   a   better   understanding   of   Taiwan’s   wage   stagnation.   First,   we   explore   the   trend   of   labor   income   shares,   namely   the   labor   incomeoutput   ratios,   in   Taiwan.   This   enables   us   to   understand   the   distribution   or   tradeoff   between   labor   and   capital   shares.   Second,   we   calculate   the   correlation   coefficients   between   real   wages   and   gross   domestic   product   (GDP)   per   capita,   showing   that   whether   Taiwan’s   real   wages   and   national   income   move   in   the   opposite   direction.   Third,   we   calculate   the   gap   between   the   marginal   product   of   labor   and   real   wage.   This   focus   shows   whether   workers’   salary   is   consistent   with   their   productivity   in   Taiwan.   Of   particular   importance,   in   all   issues   we   compare   the   Taiwan   case   with   neighboring   countries   in   Asia.   By   these   cross-country   comparisons,   we   examine   whether   the   wage   stagnation   in   Taiwan   is   unique,   or   common   in   Asian   countries.
