摘　　要：选择地处苏州市域西南端、外来流动人口多的胥口镇,以建筑装饰业的外来农民工创业者为研究对象,运用"滚雪球"的调查方法获取样本数据,分析他们非正规创业的动力及其与当地正规经济的关系。结果显示:非正规创业是创业者在自身资源条件的约束下,对迁入地和迁出地市场机会、资源获取与风险成本进行甄别、权衡并比较之后的理性决策;外来农民工的非正规经济通过"中间人",嵌入到当地正规经济,两者形成"共生"格局;不同来源地的农民工进入时序差异、资本积累进程及逐利性特征,导致不同来源地的创业者沿产业价值链渐进更替。The literature on international immigration considers that immigrants are often involved in informal economy of destination countries, and set up business for the segmented market. In China, peasant workers, rural immigrants to urban areas, are a result of the urban and rural isolation, .and urban fringe areas are primarily their immigrating destinations. Burgeoning urban-rural immigrants＇ entrepreneurship in informal economy in the coastal areas of China has caused increasing concerns; however, few cases have been focused on specific sectors or small-scale geographic areas. This paper takes Xukou Town as an example, which lies in the southeastern fringe area of Suzhou City, with a purpose to examine whether or not the immigrant entrepreneurship establish an isolated economy from the mainstreaming economy of a city. Snowballing survey was used for data collection, and ten micro- business owners in the architectural decoration industry were interviewed in July, 2012. Preliminary findings show that urban-rural immigrant entrepreneurship in informal economy is embedded in the local institutional arrangements and social networks. In spite of immigrants＇ low social inclusion, their informal business is not isolated from the urban, and its prosperity depends on the local formal economy. It is the ＇middlemen＇ who are the bridge between the two sectors.
