这项研究表明，企业家精神的达尔文式进化在经济发展过程中以及社会内部和社会之间的不平等动态中发挥了重要作用。本研究认为，企业家精神在人类历史进程中呈现出非单调的演化过程。在发展的早期阶段，风险容忍、促进增长的性状产生了进化优势，它们的代表性增加加快了技术进步和经济发展进程的步伐，点燃了发展的成熟阶段，然而，风险厌恶性状获得了进化优势，削弱了发达经济体的增长潜力，并有助于各国经济增长的趋同。(C)2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
This research suggests that a Darwinian evolution of entrepreneurial spirit played a significant role in the process of economic development and the dynamics of inequality within and across societies. The study argues that entrepreneurial spirit evolved non-monotonically in the course of human history. In early stages of development, risk-tolerant, growth promoting traits generated an evolutionary advantage and their increased representation accelerated the pace of technological progress and the process of economic development, lit mature stages of development, however, risk-averse traits gained an evolutionary advantage, diminishing the growth potential of advanced economies and contributing to convergence in economic growth across countries.
