Economic Analysis of Frequent Disasters in Chinese Coal-mining Enterprises

Chun-jing GAO, Ping-qing LIU

Abstract


Disasters occurred frequently in Chinese coal-mining enterprises has attracted significant coverage from the whole society. Employer will invest in safety and health improvement until the cost is more than the expense of paying higher wages, compensation of employees’ death and other accident and illness costs. Thus, market price of product, rate of worker’ wage and government regulation are highly imperfect alternatives concerning the reduction of disasters in coal and mine enterprises. As a result, continued reliance on all three approaches, a rational mechanism among government, employee and employer should be established.
Key Words: Disasters in coal-mining enterprises; Market price of product; Rate of workers’ wage; Government regulation cost
Résumé Les désastres fréquentes dans les mines chinoises ont attiré l’attention de tous les milieux sociaux. Les employeurs ne pourront investir pour l’amélioration de la sécurité et de la santé qu’au moment où le coût est largement supérieur à la dépense du saleire, à la compensation de la santé des employés et à d’autres coûts d’accidents et de maladies. Pourtant, le prix du marché des produits, le taux du salaires des employés et à la régulation gouvernementale sont imparfaits dans les interventions de l’amélioration de l’environnement. Pour réduires les désastres des mines, il faut trois solutions de régulation pour créer un système de fonctionnement logique.
Mots-clés: Les désastres dans les mines chinoises, le prix du marché des produits, le taux du salaires des employés, le coût de la régulation gouvernementale
摘 要 佔據中國能源重要地位的礦業企業內頻繁發生的礦難引起社會各界的關注。只有對工人的補償大於改善環境的支付時,礦主才會為改善生產環境安全狀況投資。文章通過對影響礦主行為的產品市場價格、工人工作率和政府規製成本的經濟學分析,闡述了礦難屢禁不止的原因。產品市場價格、工人工作率和政府規製成本在改善安全環境方面的作用,都是有缺陷的。要減少礦難的發生,必須綜合運用三種調節方式,建立合理的運行機制。
關鍵詞:礦難;產品市場價格;工人工資率;政府規製成本
