摘要

侵权与民事责任改革一直是美国各州争论的热点问题。这催生了大量的理论和实证学术文献,这些文献评估了这种改革的含义及其对经济各个方面的影响。本研究通过考虑各种侵权改革如何影响各州的创业活动,增加了这些文献。该研究采用了国家侵权法改革数据库(第6版),并利用了1996年至2016年间的考夫曼指数(创业创业活动指数),发现责任改革通常与创业活动的增加呈正相关。这些结果在很大程度上是由共同和连带责任、非经济损害上限、应急费用限制和抵押品来源规则驱动的,尽管后者的结果有些不那么稳健,而共同和连带责任的影响不会随着时间的推移而持续。

US State Tort Liability Reform and Entrepreneurship
Abstract Tort and civil liability reform has been a hotly debated issue across US states. This has spawned a large theoretical and empirical academic literature that evaluates the implications of such reform and the impact that it can have on various aspects of an economy. This study adds to that literature by considering how various tort reforms affect entrepreneurial activity across states. The study employs the Database of State Tort Law Reforms (6th Edition) and utilizes the Kauffman Index – an index of entrepreneurial startup activity – between 1996 and 2016, finding that liability reform is generally positively associated with increased entrepreneurial activity. These results are largely driven by joint and several liability, caps on noneconomic damages, limits on contingency fees, and collateral source rules though this latter result is somewhat less robust, while the effects of joint and several liability do not persist through time.
