摘要

我们研究了1998年至2018年期间美国48个州的灾难事件对小企业活动的影响。我们的研究结果表明，灾害影响因创业类型而异；自然灾害发生后，新企业家和初创企业创造就业机会的比例上升，而新企业家和初创企业的生存机会份额下降。这些发现对自然灾害和创业活动之间的关系提出了比相关文献报道更细致入微的理解。我们在经济活力的背景下解释我们的发现，并讨论政策影响。

Natural disasters and economic dynamism: Evidence from U.S. entrepreneurial activity

We examine how disaster events influence small business activity in a sample of 48 U.S. states for the period from 1998 to 2018. Our results show that disaster impacts vary by entrepreneurship type; the rate of new entrepreneurs and start-up job creation rise in the aftermath of natural disasters, whereas the opportunity share of new entrepreneurs and start-up survival fall. These findings present a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between natural disasters and entrepreneurial activity than reported in the relevant literature. We interpret our findings in the context of economic dynamism and discuss policy implications.
