政府信息公开对企业家活动配置的影响研究

The Effect of Government Information Disclosure on the Allocation of Entrepreneurs'Activities

营商环境是企业决策与价值创造的基础。本文立足“预期效应”和“规范效应”视角,考察政府信息公开带来的营商环境改善如何影响企业家时间在生产性与非生产性活动之间的配置。基于三期中国私营企业调查(CPES)数据的研究表明,政府信息公开会激励企业家花费更多时间开展生产性活动,但对企业家非生产性活动时间无显著影响;同时,政府信息公开对生产性活动的促进效应主要存在于中小型企业中。机制分析表明,当营商环境优化政策实施未显著减少企业面临的政策信息不对称或提高政府监管效能时,政府信息公开促进企业家生产性活动的效应更强。基于世界银行企业调查数据的分析表明,政府信息公开水平越高,企业面临的政策信息不对称程度越低,企业对政府监管效能的评价越高。本文不仅为理解政府信息公开的经济效应提供了新的经验证据,而且为优化民营经济营商环境、激发企业家精神提供了政策启示。

The business environment is the basis of enterprises'decision-making and value creation.Based on the anticipation effect and standardization effect,this paper investigates how the improvement of business environment originating from government information disclosure(GID)affects entrepreneurs'time allocation between productive and non-productive activities.Using three periods of Chinese Private Enterprise Survey(CPES)data as the sample,the study suggests that CID encourages private entrepreneurs to spend more time on productive activities but has no significant effect on entrepreneurs'time allocating to non-productive activities,and the promotion effect of GID on productive activities mainly exists in the small and medium-sized enterprises.According to mechanism analysis,when implementing an important policy for optimizing the business environment does not significantly reduce policy information asymmetry faced by enterprises or improve government regulation efficiency,GID has a more significant promotion effect on entrepreneurs'productive activities.The analysis based on the World Bank's enterprises survey data shows that the higher the level of GID,the lower the degree of policy information asymmetry faced by enterprises and the better enterprises'evaluation of government regulation efficiency.This paper provides new empirical evidence for understanding the economic effects of GID and policy suggestions for optimizing the business environment of the private economy and encouraging entrepreneurship.
