Abstract:
|
Despite a less favourable national institutional environment, the private
entrepreneurial sector has developed rapidly in China¡¯s transition economy.
To resolve this puzzle, this study argues that regional deregulation plays a
significant role in China¡¯s entrepreneurial growth because it stimulates free
markets and lifts predatory and discriminatory regulatory policies affecting
entrepreneurship. I use provincial-level panel data (1998¨C2003) for
hypothesis testing. The results, based on fixed effects estimation, suggest
that deregulation indeed has a significantly positive effect on entrepreneurial
growth within regions. In addition, this effect is found to be
stronger in earlier years, as well as among less developed, inland regions. |
