摘　　要：在历史及文化传统中探索经济增长决定因素的内生化过程不光是经济史学者长期关注的议题之一,对理解改革开放以来我国经济高速发展也具有现实意义。但是,目前相关文献依然数量有限且结论不一致,大都以描述和思辨为主,缺乏基于系统数据的因果证据。本文结合明代设立军屯这一政策背景,发现家族在内部选定戍边军户过程中所界定出的成员间权利义务关系可以体现出一定的契约精神。我们基于系统历史数据,来探索这种“合同型”家族分布对现代语境中契约精神的影响。基础回归结果发现,历史上军户人口比重的确显著影响了当代契约精神,该结果在用明初战争频度作为工具变量后依然稳健。Exploring the decisive factors of economic growth in historical and cultural traditions is not only one of the key issues of economic historians but also of realistic significance for under-standing Chinas economic miracle since the reform and opening upBy employing the policy of Ming Garrisons,this paper found that the definition of rights and obligations between family members during the process of selecting the serving soldiers reflected a certain spirit of contractThis paper tries to employ the systematic historical data to explore the impact of this“contract”clan on the contemporary contract spiritThe benchmark regression shows that the proportion of the population of the military families does significantly affect the contemporary spirit of contractThe result is robust after using the frequency of war in the early Ming Dynasty as an instrumental variableAs a comparison,this paper does not find evidence of the impact of the traditional clan on the spirit of contract.
