Abstract

This study investigates how the construction of technology transfer markets in China can affect local entrepreneurial activity. Using new firm registration data from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of China, the analysis treated the establishment of national technology transfer centers (NTTCs) as a quasi-natural experiment and employed a staggered difference-in-differences approach. The results indicate that the establishment of NTTCs has a positive impact on entrepreneurship. Robustness checks supported a causal interpretation of the results. The primary mechanisms identified were increased availability of entrepreneurial resources and improvements in the local entrepreneurial environment. The effects were more pronounced in technology-intensive manufacturing and producer service industries, and in cities with lower administrative status and higher levels of financial development. Further analysis revealed that NTTCs contribute to economic growth by promoting entrepreneurship. The results have policy implications for government-led development of technology transfer markets.

国家技术转移市场对中国企业家精神的影响
本研究探讨了中国技术转移市场的构建对当地创业活动的影响。本文采用中国国家工商行政管理总局的新企业注册数据,将国家技术转移中心(NTTCs)的建立作为准自然实验,并采用了交错差中差方法。研究结果表明,NTTCs的建立对创业有正向影响。稳健性检查支持对结果的因果解释。确定的主要机制是增加企业资源的可得性和改善当地企业环境。这种影响在技术密集型制造业和生产性服务业以及行政地位较低、金融发展水平较高的城市更为明显。进一步的分析表明,NTTCs通过促进创业精神来促进经济增长。研究结果对政府主导的技术转移市场发展具有政策意义。
