中文摘要:

      2013年“一带一路”倡议的提出对我国经济发展、区域合作有着深远意义。基于2007—2019年中国292个地级及以上城市的面板数据,利用双重差分模型探讨了“一带一路”倡议对地区营商环境的影响及其作用机制。实证结果显示,“一带一路”倡议显著促进了地区营商环境的优化,且主要通过强化产权保护促进了地区营商环境的优化。异质性分析发现,“一带一路”倡议对优化非省会城市、内向型地区营商环境的促进作用更大。此外,“一带一路”倡议对邻近地区的营商环境具有积极的空间溢出效应,有助于促进区域整体营商环境的优化。因此,应继续推进“一带一路”建设,加大对“一带一路”沿线地区的财政投入力度,加强产权保护,促进我国营商环境的优化。

英文摘要:

      The proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013 has far-reaching significance for China's economic development and regional cooperation. Based on the panel data of 292 prefecture-level and above cities in China from 2007 to 2019, a difference-in-differences (DID) model is used to explore the impact of the Belt and Road Initiative on the regional business environment and its mechanism. The results show that the Belt and Road Initiative significantly improves the regional business environment of mainly by strengthening property rights protection. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the Belt and Road Initiative has a greater impact on the business environment of non-provincial capital cities and inward-looking regions. In addition, the Belt and Road Initiative has a positive spatial spillover effect on the business environment of neighboring cities and improves the overall business environment of a region. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to promote the Belt and Road construction, increase financial investment in the areas along the Belt and Road, and strengthen property rights protection to improve the business environment in China. 
