摘要: 市场推广能力的培育是经贸类大学生培养的关键所在，而学科竞赛被认为是提升大学生创新创业本领的重要手段。以国内某大学国际经济与贸易专业组织学科竞赛实践训练营作为准自然实验，使用双重差分DID方法判定学科竞赛与经贸类大学生高质量就业的因果关系。结果显示，参与学科竞赛的学生就业创业绩效上均有显著提升。与此同时，研究发现，参与学科竞赛也促进了大学生专业学习成绩的提升，且通过提升大学生专业学习成绩成为了学科竞赛促进就业的一条重要途径。

Abstract: The cultivation of market ability is the key to the cultivation of college students major in economic and trade, while discipline competitions are considered an important means to enhance their innovation and entrepreneurship abilities. With a domestic university organizing a discipline competition training camp as a quasi-natural experiment, we use the double difference DID method to determine the causal relationship between discipline competitions and high-quality employment of college students. The results show that students participating in subject competitions have significantly improved their employment and entrepreneurship performance. At the same time, research has found that participating in discipline competitions also promotes the college students’ academic performance, which becomes an important way to improve employment quality through discipline competitions.
