Abstract

This study assesses how perceptions about the quality of legal institutions affect entrepreneurial activity across US states. We employ survey data from the US Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for Legal Reform regarding both the overall perceived institutional quality within a state and a multitude of subcategories. With a panel data set covering 2002–08, we find that along with overall legal quality, entrepreneurial activity across states is positively correlated with better perceptions about punitive damages, summary judgment, rules of discovery and admission of scientific and technical evidence at trial. Interestingly, interacting these variables with economic freedom typically generates non-results, though this is not the case when considering only opportunity entrepreneurship. Implications are discussed.
法律制度、观念与创业:一项实证调查
这项研究评估了对法律机构质量的看法如何影响美国各州的创业活动。我们使用了美国商会法律改革研究所的调查数据,这些数据涉及一个州内的整体制度质量和众多子类别。通过涵盖2002-08年的小组数据集,我们发现,除了整体法律质量外,各州的创业活动与更好地理解惩罚性赔偿、简易判决、发现规则以及在审判中承认科学和技术证据呈正相关。有趣的是,这些变量与经济自由的相互作用通常不会产生结果,尽管仅考虑机会创业时并非如此。讨论了影响。
