中文摘要：

文章构建了一个包含最低工资标准与企业家能力的创业选择模型，并提出理论假设，从理论上考察了最低工资标准与企业家能力对创业的影响。进一步，采用2011年中国家庭金融调查与各地区最低工资标准数据，通过构建计量模型就最低工资标准对创业的影响进行了测算与检验。研究结果表明：最低工资标准所带来的劳动力成本效应显著抑制了各地区的创业活力，这一创业抑制效应不仅表现在对创业倾向的影响上，而且体现在对创业规模的抑制效应上。研究结果同样表明：最低工资对创业的抑制效应对于不同的创业行业与创业类型具有显著的差异性，对于服务业项目的创业与创立企业、合伙企业的创业类型的创业活动具有更强的抑制效应。

英文摘要：

This paper constructs an entrepreneurial selection model containing minimum wage and entrepreneur ability, puts forward theoretical hypotheses and theoretically discusses the effect of minimum wage standards and entrepreneurial ability on entrepreneurial activities. Furthermore, we use the China Household Finance Survey data in 2011 to verify our theoreti- cal results through econometric models. Both of our theoretical propositions and empirical results suggest that minimum wage standard significantly suppresses entrepreneurial activities in each region. Minimum wage standard not only lowers the wilhng- ness to do entrepreneurship activities, but also reduces the scale of entrepreneurship. Our empirical resuhs also show that minimum wage＇s suppression effect on entrepreneurial activities varies across different types of entrepreneurial origins and different industries. Entrepreneurial activities in service industries are much more negatively affected by minimum wage than manufacture or in architecture industry. Minimum wage also has a deeper suppression effect in those entrepreneurial activities started by entrepreneur themselves or by partnership.
