摘要
最近的两篇论文研究了1990-2008年间29个国家的公司破产法对新企业启动的影响(Peng et al., 2010;Lee et al., 2010)。在这篇评论中,我简要地指出两个重要的问题,未来的研究人员可能想要考虑沿着这条研究路线。首先,研究数据中的几个国家在研究的这些年里修改了他们的个人和公司破产法。将破产法视为时不变在统计上是不恰当和不准确的,就像Peng等人(2010)和Lee等人(2010)所做的那样,特别是考虑到许多国家的破产法随着时间的推移发生了巨大变化。其次,Peng et al.(2010)和Lee et al.(2010)对公司破产法的关注错位,而忽视了个人破产法。这一重点与理论和先前的关于创业与个人破产法相关的主题的工作不一致。
Commentary: ‘Bankruptcy Laws and Entrepreneur Friendliness’ and ‘How Do Bankruptcy Laws Affect Entrepreneurship Development Around the World?’
Two recent papers examine the impact of corporate bankruptcy laws on new business start ups in 29 countries over 1990-2008 (Peng et al., 2010; Lee et al., 2010). In this commentary, I briefly point out two significant issues which future researchers might want to consider along this line of research. First, several countries in the data examined had changed their personal and corporate bankruptcy laws over the years studied. It is statistically inappropriate and inaccurate to treat bankruptcy laws as time invariant, as in Peng et al. (2010) and Lee et al. (2010), particularly in view of the dramatic changes in bankruptcy law over time in so many countries. Second, Peng et al. (2010) and Lee et al. (2010) have a misplaced focus on corporate bankruptcy law while ignoring personal bankruptcy law. This focus is at odds with theory and prior work on topic which relates entrepreneurship to personal bankruptcy law.
