摘要
Female entrepreneurship benefits economic development and female empowerment. Nowadays, women’s representation in entrepreneurship is still generally lower than that of men, but varies by region. The historical origins of this phenomenon are rarely explored. We explore them by investigating the impact of historical cereal endowments on contemporary female entrepreneurship across regions in China. Our empirical results indicate that historical cereal endowments measured by agro-climatic potential cereal yields inhibit contemporary female entrepreneurship by decreasing female risk preference. This inhibition impact reduces the representation of women in entrepreneurship. We propose a dynamic model capturing the evolution of risk preference, thereby analyzing how historical cereal endowments impact female entrepreneurship. Our study provides an insight into the agricultural origins that inhibit female entrepreneurship.
