私营企业主的精英网络与地位认同:基于ABM的分析

Elite Networks and Subjective Social Status of Chinese Private Entrepreneur:An Analysis of Agent-Based Modeling

本文基于生成模型范式,重新考察了精英网络对私营企业主地位认同的影响。针对基于2018年中国私营企业调查(CPES)数据分析后出现的理论解释与实证发现之间的悖论,本文引入真实数据注入的多主体模型(ABM),发现精英关系人在互动过程中的地位轻视将明显降低私营企业主的地位认同水平,并强化其地位认同的分化,引发地位认同与客观经济地位的偏移;私营企业主只有保持较高的工具理性,方可能缓解以上状况。上述实证发现凸显了社会网络的互动过程效应,扩展了社会网络对地位认同的理论解释范围,对于新时期提升私营企业主的地位认同水平具有启发意义。

This article aims to examine the influence of elite networks on the formation of subjective social status within the generational models.Drawing on data from the 2018 Chinese Private Enterprises Survey,the statistical results highlight the gap between theoretical explanation and empirical evidence.This article employs agent-based modeling(ABM).The ABM reveals that the disregard for elite connections during interactions significantly reduces the status recognition of private business owners and intensifies the polarization of their status identification,leading to a divergence between perceived status and objective economic position.Only when these owners maintain relatively high instrumental rationality does it have some mitigating effect.These findings highlight the interaction effect of social networks,contribute to the social network theory,and have important implications for understanding the subjective social status of private enterprises in contemporary China.
