讲座主题：儒学传播与制度转型——非正式制度矫正了正式制度失灵吗？
摘要：近来，有关考察非正式制度与正式制度交互作用的前沿研究为我们理解国家能力培养与制度失灵提供了新的认知思路与理论洞见，但相关的因果识别与实证工作却难以建构。基于四川土司制与郡县制长期并存这一独特的历史史实，本文利用其县（区）级历史数据估计了非正式制度的典型代表——儒家文化传播如何促进了地区的制度转型，进而矫正了失灵行为。研究发现，尽管土司制不利于当地地区的经济发展与福利建设，但儒家文化规范对于这一制度扭曲却发挥出重要的矫正作用，显著促进了当地改土归流的转型可能性。我们认为，理解儒家文化这一影响逻辑的背后机制在于，一方面，官方文化在当地的传播促进了地区科举制的建设与完善，从而加强了该地区的政治精英选拔与地方治理；而另一方面，儒家文化下的国家意识蔓延对于加剧地方割据势力与中原王朝的统治利益矛盾具有促进作用，从而在双边冲突中武力征服对割据地区的制度选择与实行具有重要影响。

讲座主题：Commercial Social Capital and Individual Investment Choices: Historical evidence from the Shanghuis in the Late Qing Dynasty in China
摘要：How to explain private investment choices in the financial market is one of the important issues in the field of household finance. Using the unique data of shanghuis, informal financial entities that played an important role in the financial industry in the late Qing Dynasty, this article explores the historical origins that influence contemporary private investment choices in China. We find that the establishment of shanghuis in the late Qing Dynasty can significantly increase the local contemporary residents’ preference and participation scale for the risk assets, but does not exert any actual effect on their investment in risk-free assets. Moreover, with the expansion of shanghuis, this long-term impact becomes more significant. After performing instrumental variable tests and other robust inferences, the above conclusions are still valid. In further tests, the long-term impact of shanghui mainly originates from the following: (i) the establishment of shanghuis makes local investment finance available; (ii) as an important form of social capital, shanghui promotes long-term social trust, and increases individual’s risk-taking ability in the financial market; (iii) the activities of shanghuis improve the financial knowledge and literacy of contemporary individuals, thus promoting individual investment impulse. From the historical perspective, this article provides a branch of new explanation for understanding the individual investment choices and household financial investment imbalance in China today.
