行政垄断规制与地区创业——来自《公平竞争审查制度》的准自然实验

Administrative Monopoly Regulations and Regional Entrepreneurship:A Quasi-natural Experiment Based on the Fair Competition Review System

破除行政垄断桎梏、营造公平有序的市场环境是以创新创业驱动经济高质量发展,进而建设社会主义现代化强国的内在要求。文章以《公平竞争审查制度》实施为准自然实验,收集全国工商企业注册数据,采用双重差分方法系统考察规制行政垄断对地区创业活动的影响。研究发现:规制行政垄断显著提升了地区创业水平,在金融市场化程度较低、政府干预能力较强、政策实施力度更大的地区,这种正向关系更为显著。机制分析表明,规制行政垄断有助于降低进入壁垒、提高信贷资源配置效率、改善地区法治水平,进而提升地区创业水平。文章不仅丰富了行政垄断规制与创业活动领域的研究,也为如何规制行政垄断、推动“大众创业,万众创新”战略,进而促进经济高质量发展提供了经验证据和政策启示。

Breaking the shackles of administrative monopolies and creating a fair and orderly market environment are inherent requirements for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship to drive the high-quality development of the economy,and ultimately building a socialist modern power.Given that China has entered a new normal in economic development,the adverse effects of administrative monopolies on healthy economic development have become increasingly prominent.To clarify the relationship between the government and the market,and prevent the abuse of administrative power,the Chinese government introduced the Fair Competition Review System.This paper employs this system as a quasi-natural experiment to explore the impact and mechanism of administrative monopoly regulations on regional entrepreneurial activities.By collecting national industrial and commercial enterprise registration data and using a DID model for analysis,the study finds that administrative monopoly regulations significantly improve the level of regional entrepreneurship,and the results remain robust after various robustness tests.Mechanism analysis shows that administrative monopoly regulations mainly promote regional entrepreneurial activities by reducing the barriers of market entry,optimizing the efficiency of financial resource allocation,and improving the level of regional rule of law.In addition,this paper finds that in regions with a lower level of financial marketization,stronger government intervention capabilities,and stricter implementation and review of the system,the promotion effect of administrative monopoly regulations on regional entrepreneurship is more significant,and it plays a greater role in promoting the entry of private enterprises.Using more comprehensive and representative data from industrial and commercial registrations,this paper explores the impact of administrative monopoly regulations on micro enterprises from the perspective of entrepreneurship,complementing the research on administrative monopoly regulations,and broadening the research on the influencing factors of entrepreneurship from the perspective of administrative monopolies.The conclusions not only enrich the academic research,but also provide empirical evidence and policy implications for optimizing antitrust policies,promoting innovation and entrepreneurship strategies,and boosting the high-quality development of the economy.
