贫困、认知能力与家庭创业决策——基于CFPS2018的实证研究

Poverty, cognitive ability and family entrepreneurship:empirical research based on CFPS2018

针对贫困如何影响家庭创业的问题,采用2018年中国家庭追踪调查数据,实证分析了贫困与家庭创业决策的关系。结果表明:家庭贫困状况显著抑制了家庭创业决策,且这一结论在克服内生性偏误及采用不同的贫困标准进行稳健性检验后仍然成立。以户主认知能力作为中介变量的机制检验结果表明,贫困能够通过影响户主的认知能力进而影响家庭的创业决策。提出了各级政府不仅需要充分重视资源约束对创业活动的抑制作用,还需通过人力资本水平的提升缓解贫困对创业所产生的不利影响等建议,为激发创业活力提供了参考。

Focusing on the relationship between poverty and family entrepreneurship,this paper empirically tests the impact of poverty on family entrepreneurship by using the data of CFPS in 2018.The results indicate that poverty significantly inhibits family entrepreneurial probability,and the conclusion remains unchanged after overcoming endogeneity and adopting different poverty standards for robustness test.The mechanism test implies that poverty can affect the entrepreneurship by affecting the cognitive ability of the head of household.Suggestions are provided that the government should not only pay full attention to the inhibitory effect of resource constraints on entrepreneurship,but also alleviate the adverse impact of poverty on entrepreneurship through the improvement of human capital.It provides reference for stimulating entrepreneurial vitality,.
