Abstract： We combine the 2005 China Inter-Census Population Survey data and the 2004 China Manufacturing Census to test whether workers, particularly rural migrants, benefit from labor market Marshallian externalities in manufacturing industries in Chinese cities. We find that workers in general, and rural migrants in particular, benefit from labor market pooling effect (measured by total employment in a city-industry cell) and human capital externalities (measured by share of workers with a college degree or above in a city-industry cell). This finding is robust to various sorting bias tests. However, rural migrants benefit much less compared with local or urban workers, possibly because rural migrants suffer from lack of social network and from double ―discrimination‖ in terms of being both ―rural and ―migrants. Our findings have policy implications on how Chinese cities can attract skilled workers during the rapid urbanization process coupled with global competition.
