摘要

本文利用一个关于中小企业劳动力在制造业总劳动力中所占比例的新数据库，探讨了中小企业(SME)部门的相对规模、经济增长和扶贫之间的关系。使用45个国家的样本，我们发现中小企业的重要性与人均GDP增长之间存在强烈的正相关关系。然而，这些数据并不能自信地支持中小企业对经济增长产生因果影响的结论。此外，我们没有发现中小企业减轻贫困或减少收入不平等的证据。

Smes, Growth, and Poverty

This paper explores the relationship between the relative size of the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) sector, economic growth, and poverty alleviation using a new database on the share of SME labor in the total manufacturing labor force. Using a sample of 45 countries, we find a strong, positive association between the importance of SMEs and GDP per capita growth. The data do not, however, confidently support the conclusions that SMEs exert a causal impact on growth. Furthermore, we find no evidence that SMEs alleviate poverty or decrease income inequality.
