非生产性努力、政府规制与私营经济发展

The Relationship between Enterpriser's Non-productive Efforts and Local Private Economic Development

本文认为,地方政府的规制水平不同,使得不同地区私营企业家的非生产性努力程度有差异;在企业家能够自由流动的条件下,规制条件好的地区会对企业家产生集聚效应,促使地区私营经济快速发展;私营企业家的集聚使私营经济的力量得到壮大,更能影响政府的政策和规制条件,因此经济朝着优均衡的状态发展;如果地区私营经济向地方政府寻租,造成偏私性资源配置,那么私营经济发展就会走向劣均衡。

This paper assumes that the enterprisers can decide their favorite region to invest and move freely. The enterpriser＇s effort can be divided into productive effort and unproductive effort. Private entrepreneurs have to pay non-productive efforts into grasping the government regulation to fight for their own development space when the local government regulation is imperfect. If the local government set policy barriers to add the extent of non-productive effort of entrepreneurs for increasing its earnings ,the regional private economy will fall into a low-level trap. If the local government wants to obtain long-term economic development ,it will improve its regulation quality and this region will have higher productivity. In the other hand,the better regu- lation quality will attract more private entrepreneurs to venture in this region,which makes the regional private sector development has entered a virtuous cycle. This is the dual-path dependence of institutional change mechanism.
