Abstract

This paper examines the effect of clan culture on supply chain resilience in China. We provide evidence that firms in cities with stronger clans experience fewer supply chain disruptions. The patterns remain robust to alternative measures, various subsamples, and instrumental variable estimations. When natural disasters, tariff shocks, and unfavorable credit policies negatively impact the stability of supply chains, our results show that clans significantly enhance resilience to these shocks. Mechanism tests suggest that clans serve as a substitute for contractual institutions and particularly, stabilize the relationships with socially connected suppliers.

家族文化与中国供应链弹性

本文考察了宗族文化对中国供应链弹性的影响。我们提供的证据表明，在家族关系较强的城市，企业的供应链中断较少。这些模式对于替代测量、各种子样本和工具变量估计仍然是健壮的。当自然灾害、关税冲击和不利的信贷政策对供应链的稳定性产生负面影响时，我们的研究结果表明，宗族显著增强了对这些冲击的抵御能力。机制测试表明，氏族是契约制度的替代品，特别是稳定了与有社会联系的供应商的关系。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
