Abstract

Despite a rich literature on nonprofit density, the founding and dissolution of nonprofit organizations remains poorly understood. This study explores the founding and dissolution in nonprofit populations including density dependence, resource concentration, government size, and hypothesizes that dissolution creates an entrepreneurial opportunity. The hypotheses are tested using county level data covering the continental US from 2010 to 2016 (N = 21,756). The results show government size, competition, and resource concentration are important for understanding founding and dissolution, and establishes strong support for a link between the events: a one standard deviation increase in the number of dissolutions in a county predicts an increase of 1.5% (CI: .72–2.31) in the nonprofit founding rate. The study highlights ways for public officials to support nonprofit entrepreneurship and calls for renewed interest in ecological applications in contemporary nonprofit populations.

连接创办与解散：美国非营利部门人口统计研究

尽管有关非营利组织密度的文献十分丰富，但人们对非营利组织的成立和解散仍然知之甚少。本研究探讨了非营利组织的成立和解散，包括密度依赖性、资源集中度、政府规模，并假设解散创造了创业机会。假设利用 2010 年至 2016 年美国大陆的县级数据（N = 21756）进行了检验。研究结果表明，政府规模、竞争和资源集中度对于理解非营利组织的创立和解散非常重要，并有力地支持了这些事件之间的联系：一个县的解散数量每增加一个标准差，非营利组织的创立率就会增加 1.5%（CI：.72-2.31）。这项研究强调了政府官员支持非营利组织创业的方法，并呼吁人们重新关注生态学在当代非营利组织中的应用。
