地方政府、企业家精神与地区经济高质量增长

Local Government,Entrepreneurship and High-Quality Growth of Regional Economy

转型期中国渐进式改革和特色政治治理体系在肯定企业家精神对经济增长“主体”效应的同时也强调地方政府的作用。在此背景下,本文基于中国1996—2017年30个省级单位的面板数据实证分析了企业家精神、地方政府和经济高质量增长的关系。结果表明:企业家精神对经济高质量增长具有显著的直接促进效应,以及通过影响地方政府进而影响地区经济高质量增长的间接效应。企业家创业精神越富有的地方越容易形成规模意义上的“大政府”、企业家创新精神越丰裕的地方越容易形成“小政府”,“小政府”意味着政府对该地区的干预程度弱,进而更有利于地区经济高质量增长。进一步,地区经济高质量增长取决于政府行为和企业家的“耦合度”。

China’s gradual reform and characteristic political governance system in the transition period not only affirmed the promoting effect of entrepreneurship on the“main body”of economic growth,but also emphasized the role of local government.In this context,based on the panel data of 30 provincial units in China from 1996 to 2017,this paper empirically analyzes the relationship among entrepreneurship,local government and high-quality economic growth.The results show that entrepreneurship has a significant direct promoting effect on the quality of economic growth and an indirect effect on the quality of regional economic growth by influencing the local government.The richer the entrepreneurial spirit is,the easier it is to form“big government”in the sense of scale,and the richer the entrepreneurial innovation spirit is,the easier it is to form“small government”.“Small government”means that the government has less intervention in the region,which is more conducive to the high-quality growth of regional economy.Furthermore,the high-quality growth of regional economy depends on the coupling degree of government behavior and entrepreneurs.
