信任与区域经济发展研究——基于省与市两级的定量分析

The Relationship between Trust and Development of Regional Economy in China ——A Comparative Study Using Provincial and City Data

本研究利用问卷调查取得的数据测量了省级和市级的信任水平,讨论了信任与区域经济发展的关系。基于省级层面的研究发现,社会信任与区域经济发展呈微弱负相关,公共信任与区域经济发展呈微弱正相关;而基于市级层面的研究发现,社会信任与区域经济发展呈现显著负相关,公共信任仍然与区域经济发展呈微弱正相关。作为特例,用银行呆账率作为一个客观的、逆向的指标来验证社会信任与经济发展的关系,发现银行呆账率与地区社会信任水平之间呈现负相关关系,与区域经济发展呈显著正相关关系。
