摘要
William Baumol提出有两种类型的企业家精神:生产性的和非生产性的。以创新和有效资源分配为特征的生产性企业精神促进经济增长,并能成为吸引移徙的有力磁石。相反,往往涉及寻租和规避监管的非生产性企业家精神阻碍了移民,并可能引发外迁。为了从创业和移民的类型来检验这种联系,我们使用了一个新的创业指数(生产性和非生产性),并结合了一个涵盖2005年至2019年迁入和迁出大都市统计区(MSA)的数据集。我们的分析表明,生产性创业高的地区经历了显著的净移民,而那些以非生产性创业为主的地区则出现了相反的效果。
Baumol’s migrants: Productive and unproductive entrepreneurship and between-MSA migration
William Baumol proposes that there are two types of entrepreneurship: productive or unproductive. Productive entrepreneurship, characterized by innovation and efficient resource allocation, fosters economic growth and can act as a potent magnet for migration. Conversely, unproductive entrepreneurship, which often involves rent-seeking and regulatory circumvention, deters migration and potentially provokes out-migration. To test this link from the types of entrepreneurship and migration, we use a new index of entrepreneurship (productive and unproductive) in conjunction with a dataset covering migration to and from Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) from 2005 to 2019. Our analysis reveals that regions high in productive entrepreneurship experience significant net in-migration, while those dominated by unproductive entrepreneurship see the opposite effect.
