法治如何影响海归企业家精神空间溢出效应——来自中国的经验证据

How Does the Rule of Law Influence the Spatial Spillover Effect of Returnees’ Entrepreneurship——Evidence from China

本文利用空间滞后面板模型测度了1998～2015年中国31个省市法治水平对海归企业家精神的影响效应。研究发现,法治水平不仅能促进本地区海归企业家精神,也能促进相邻地区海归企业家精神的发展;同时法治水平对海归企业家精神空间溢出显著为正的地区主要集中在华北、华东、华南,而东北、西北地区的法治水平对海归企业家精神空间溢出影响效应均显著为负;进一步验证了法治水平是通过对知识产权的保护、抑制腐败水平这两个渠道促进我国海归企业家精神空间溢出效应;最后,总效应分解结果表明,法治水平对于海归企业家精神溢出的直接效应、间接效应均显著为正,并且间接效应明显大于直接效应,这在一定程度上反映出一省市法治水平对于周边省份海归企业家精神溢出的辐射效应十分明显。

Using the spatial lag panel model, this paper measured the effect of the rule of law to the entrepreneurial spirit of returnees in 31 provinces and cities from the period of 1998 to 2015. The study found that the level of rule of law can not only promote the entrepreneurial spirit of the returnees in the local region, but also promote the development of entrepreneurship in the adjacent areas. At the same time,the rule of law on the entrepreneurial spirit spillover effect of the returnees is mainly concentrated in the north, east and south China regions, while the rule of lawon the entrepreneurial spirit spillover effect in the northeast and northwest regions is significantly negative. This paper further confirms that the promotion of the rule of law is through the protection of intellectual property rights, curbing the level of corruption,these two channels to promote China’s returnees entrepreneur spirit spillover effect. The results of the total effect decomposition show that the direct effect of the level of rule of law on the entrepreneurial spillover is significant, and the indirect effect is significantly greater than the direct effect. Itreflects the radiation effect of the level of rule of law in a province for the returnees’ the entrepreneurial spiritis very obvious for the surrounding provinces.
