Research on the Impact of Trade Openness on Entrepreneurship--A Case Study of Trade Openness in Late Qing Dynasty

基于晚清1894-1910年18个省级面板数据,构建双向固定效应模型评估贸易开放对企业家精神的影响,并对其作用机制进行检验。研究发现:晚清贸易开放对企业家精神的发展具有显著的正向影响,稳健性检验所得结果与基准结果一致。机制分析结果显示,现代制度的建立有利于发挥贸易开放对企业家精神的促进作用。本研究丰富和拓展了贸易开放与企业家精神关系的理论研究,同时为更好发挥企业家精神在新时代的作用以促进我国经济高质量发展提供理论启示。

Based on provincial panel data from 1894 to 1910 in the late Qing Dynasty,a two-way fixed-effects model is constructed to evaluate the impact of trade liberalization on entrepreneurship,and its mechanism is tested.This paper finds that trade liberalization in the late Qing period had a significant positive impact on the development of entrepreneurship,and the results from robustness tests are consistent with the baseline results.The mechanism analysis shows that the establishment of modern institutions facilitates the promotion of entrepreneurship through trade liberalization.This research enriches and extends the theoretical study of the relationship between trade liberalization and entrepreneurship,while also providing theoretical insights for better leveraging entrepreneurship to promote high-quality economic development in China in the new era.
