Abstract
本文係利用作者們對林園與大社石化工廠工人的實地調查資料，分析特徵性工
資函數中工資風險貼水與傷殘價值。本文的工作風險指標係由受訪者主觀判斷的風險知覺
變數，包括傷殘風險與是否罹患肝病兩個指標。另外，我們亦探討風險知覺和未來工作意
願的關係。實證結果發現臺灣的石化工廠工資結構中有明顯地工資貼水的現象，工人心目
中較危險的工作，會要求較高的工資報酬，並影響未來的工作動向。換言之，工作風險較
高的工人，未來一年更換工作的意願明顯地提高。根據工資函數中的風險係數，我們估計
石化工人每一件殘廢在統計上的價值大約為225萬元。
This paper examines the relationship between wages and health risks in petrochemical firms in Taiwan. We compare workers' wages to their perceived job risks, including nonfatal accident risks and chronic disease risks. The results indicate that workers in risky jobs do, ceteris paribus, receive extra wage compensation. The value of disabling injury, derived from a hedonic wage function, is NT$225,000 in 1995 dollars. We also find a positive relationship between quitting intentions and perceived job risk.
