论文摘要
本文的目的是调查国家的治理质量是否缓和自然灾害对该国启动活动的影响。我们使用2006年至2016年的95个国家的面板来检验我们的假设。我们的发现表明，自然灾害阻碍了质量治理较低但鼓励具有高质量治理的国家的启动活动的国家的创业活动。此外，我们的估计表明，自然灾害对启动活动的影响持续了短期（1 - 3年），但不长期。我们的发现提供了有关自然灾害如何影响企业家活动的新见解，并强调了这些事件中国家治理的重要性。
The purpose of this paper is to investigate if a country quality of governance moderates the effect of natural disasters on startup activity within that country. We test our hypotheses using a panel of 95 countries from 2006 to 2016. Our findings suggest that natural disasters discourage startup activity in countries that have low quality governance but encourage startup activity in countries that have high quality governance. Moreover, our estimates reveal that natural disasters effects on startup activity persist for the short term (1-3 years) but not the long term. Our findings provide new insights into how natural disasters affect entrepreneurship activity and highlight the importance of country governance during these events.
