个人创业回报问题的实证研究

本文对劳动力市场中创业者的创业回报问题进行了实证研究。考虑到创业本身存在自选择问题,本文使用处理效应模型进行实证回归,结果发现:创业者的收入显著高于就业者,同时创业者也会获得"较多"的非货币回报;创业者的健康状况和幸福感都要优于就业者,创业者的工作时间也比就业者长。以上实证结果表明,我国的劳动力市场是适合创业的市场,应该制定鼓励创业的公共政策,以实现大众创业、万众创新:一方面要完善我国的创业教育体系,加强创业教育,全面、有效地提高创业活动的质量,另一方面需要积极完善创业政策,扶持创业企业,整合创业资源,催生创业机会。只有这样,才能让个人从创业中收益。

This paper investigates the return to entrepreneurship in the labor market in China. Considering selection bias, we use treatment effect model to make empirical regressions. The empirical results show that, monetary return to entrepreneurship is significantly higher than to the workers. Entrepreneurs seem to be healthier and happier than workers and their working time is much longer. These results suggest that our society should be suitable for entrepreneurial activity. Formulating public policies to support entrepreneurs are necessary to realize mass entrepreneurship and innovation. On the one hand we must strengthen entrepreneurial education. The quality of entrepreneurial activity and entrepreneurial system must be fully and effectively improved. On the other hand we need to improve entrepreneurship policies to support entrepreneurial enterprises and create more business opportunities. Only in this way can entrepreneurs obtain benefits in the entrepreneurial activity.
