工业化对晚清捐官的影响研究——以新式企业发展中的产权保护机制为中心

The Impact of Industrialization on the Official Donation in the Late Qing Dynasty——Centered on the Mechanism of Property Rights Protection in the Development of New Enterprises

本文基于清代官员履历档案,从产权保护的视角实证研究了近代工业化对晚清捐官行为的影响及其机制。研究表明,由于缺乏正式法规和特许权的保障,不同于官办和外资企业,以民办企业为代表的近代新式企业的发展,促使人们通过捐官纳衔的途径来提升社会地位,寻求产权保护。本研究通过对近代中国工业化推进过程中产权保护的独特机制讨论,为理解近代经济发展、产权保护与官僚体制之间的关系提供了一个微观视角。

Based on the records of officials in Qing Dynasty,we study the influence and mechanism of modern industrialization on the behavior of the donator in late qing dynasty from the perspective of property right protection.The research shows that due to the lack of formal laws and regulations and the guarantee of concession rights,the development of modern new-style enterprises represented by private-owned enterprises urges people to enhance their social status and seek protection of property rights by donating their titles.
