组态视角下营商环境促进城市高质量发展的路径研究——基于fsQCA方法

Research on the Path of Business Environment Promoting High-quality Urban Development from the Perspective of Configuration——Based on fsQCA Method

营商环境作为一项软制度,是推动城市发展的重要力量,但其各类要素如何组合来赋能城市高质量发展是个有待研究的现实问题。本文基于组态和系统两大视角,运用定性比较分析方法,以全国36个城市作为样本,探究其复杂的因果机制。研究发现:营商环境助推城市高质量发展的组合路径存在3条,即人力-金融主导型、人力-投资主导型和资源-政务主导型;导致城市低质量发展的路径存在4条,路径结果存在显著的因果非对称性。研究结论揭示了营商环境与城市发展之间的关系,对于城市发展道路的选择和相关政策的制定具有重要理论与实践意义。

As a soft system,business environment is an important force to promote urban development,but how to combine its various elements to enable high-quality urban development is a realistic problem to be studied.Based on the two perspectives of configuration and system,this paper uses the qualitative comparative analysis method to explore the complex causal mechanism of 36 cities in China.The research finds that there are three combination paths for business environment to promote high-quality urban development,namely,human-finance oriented,human-investment oriented and resource-government oriented,there are four paths leading to the low-quality urban development,and the path results have significant causal asymmetry.The research conclusion reveals the relationship between business environment and urban development,which has important theoretical and practical significance for the choice of urban development path and the formulation of relevant policies.
