论文摘要:With the literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty of China as an exogenous shock on innovation, we empirically study the effect of spirit of innovation on long-term economic development. Through our empirical investigations, we attempt to contribute to the explanations of two fundamental puzzles in Chinese history: (1) China was the global leader in science and technology before 1700, why this advantage did not lead to an Industrial Revolution (the Needham puzzle); (2) why China declined in the late Qing Dynasty. With a Difference-in-Differences (DID) strategy, by exploiting the variation of the literary inquisition across region and over time, we find that the literary inquisition reduced the number of scientific and technological innovations by at least 55–73% in affected regions in the short term and further had a negative effect on the long-term economic development of those regions in the Qing Dynasty.
