Yan Mei, Danling Mao, Yuhui Lu, Wei Chu · 2020 · Growth and Change

Summary. Rural e-commerce clusters in China's Taobao Villages significantly boost household entrepreneurship. The study identifies four key mechanisms: local resource endowment, entrepreneurial atmosphere and culture, low entrepreneurship thresholds, and demonstrative leadership all positively influence entrepreneurial behavior. External support from government and business environments further strengthens e-commerce development. These clusters effectively stimulate entrepreneurial enthusiasm and increase entrepreneurial activity among rural households.
