This paper examines the impact of marketization on entrepreneurship by using provincial panel data from 2000 to 2018 in China. The study shows that market-oriented reform is conducive to enhance the innovative spirit and entrepreneurial spirit of entrepreneurs. The heterogeneity analysis of innovation subjects and entrepreneurial subjects shows that the marketization process has different effects on entrepreneurial spirit of different innovation subjects and entrepreneurial spirit of different entrepreneurial subjects. The influence of resource allocation effect and incentive effect of innovative subjects such as enterprises, universities and scientific research institutions in the process of marketization is weakened in turn. The market-oriented reform of enterprises in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, foreign-funded enterprises, individual, private enterprises, mixed-ownership enterprises, state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, etc. has weakened the impact on entrepreneurial spirit in turn. The results of differences at the industry level show that the manufacturing industry is most affected by the marketization process.
