企业所有权是经济的重要组成部分。虽然创业的许多决定因素已得到深入研究,但语言能力与创业之间的联系还没有。本文利用移民动态监测调查,研究了语言技能对移民创业的重要性。我们发现,能听懂并能流利地说当地方言的移民更有可能成为企业家。语言对创业的影响在城市边缘、城镇和农村地区更为明显,特别是在个人跨越不同方言地区迁移的地方。获得当地方言技能积极影响的决定,成为一个必要的-或机会驱动的企业家。
Business ownership constitutes a vital part of the economy. While many of the determinants of entrepreneurship have been intensively studied, the link between language proficiency and entrepreneurship has not. Using the Migrant Dynamics Monitoring Survey, this paper studies the importance of language skills for migrant entrepreneurship. We find that migrants who can understand and fluently speak the local dialect are more likely to become entrepreneurs. The effect of language on entrepreneurship is more pronounced in the urban fringe, towns, and rural areas, and especially where individuals migrate across different dialectal regions. Gaining local dialect skills influences positively the decision to become either a necessity- or an opportunity-driven entrepreneur.
