“双边”社会关系网络与农户异地创业

Bilateral SocialNetwork and Remote Entrepreneurship of Rural Households——Evidence from 2527 Rural Migrants in Seven Cities of China

流出地社会关系与流入地社会关系的相互交织,使得农村流动人口的社会关系网络具有典型的＂双边＂特征,这将如何影响农户异地创业？针对这一问题,本文基于2013年全国七市2527份农村流动人口调查问卷,具体考察＂双边＂社会关系网络与农户异地创业的关系,得出以下结论：社会关系网络的增强能够显著促进农户异地创业;从不同维度看,流出地社会关系与流入地社会关系对农户异地创业的作用不尽相同,流出地社会关系对农户异地创业决策的影响更大,而流入地社会关系对农户异地创业成功度的影响更大;流出地社会关系对农户异地创业的影响主要表现在前期物质资本的投入上,流入地社会关系对农户异地创业的影响主要表现在社会资本的传递上。通过上述分析,本文认为帮助农户走出异地创业困局需从促进其社会融合入手。
