薪資成長停滯甚至倒退回到1998年，是台灣最近面臨到最嚴重的問題。此篇利用2001、2006兩年的工商及服務業普查資料所組成之連結資料檔，探討台灣廠商越發盛行的三角貿易，以及廠商不願與員工分享利潤所得，是否是使台灣薪資停滯的元凶。此篇為第一個探討三角貿易與薪資成長間關係，及第一個以實證估計利潤成長對薪資成長之直接影響之文獻。結果顯示有三角貿易之廠商之薪資成長率確實較低，而當廠商平均每人利潤成長較其他廠商多增加一千萬元新台幣時，廠商之薪資成長率較其他廠商高26%，且是否有三角貿易對其利潤分享行為之影響並不顯著。但隨著台灣三角貿易盛行，及廠商利潤所得成長幅度的下降，導致台灣薪資成長漸趨緩慢。

The stagnation in wage growth, even declining back to the level of 1998, is the most serious problems Taiwan has recently faced. This paper linked 2001 and 2006 data files that are drawn from the annual manufacturing plants surveys conducted by the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs to explore that whether firms increasingly using triangular trades are the main reason to cause wage stagnation in Taiwan. This is the first paper to discuss the relationship between the triangular trade and wage growth rate, and the first one to estimate the effect of profit on wage. The results show that if firms do the triangular trade, the wage growth rate of their workers will be less than that of workers in firms who don’t. In the other hand, a NTD$1,000 increase in profits per person of firms then others firms will significantly increase 26% of wage growth in the absence of the triangular trade group, no matter the firms do the triangular trade or not. However, due to triangular trades prevailing and firms' profit growth rate decreasing, wage growth rate in taiwan grows slower and slowe
