【摘要】This paper examines the effect of Ming dynasty's autarkic regime on the rise of piracy along Chinese coast between 1370 and 1640. By analyzing a uniquely constructed dataset, we show that while the coastal prefectures with greater trade potential were 1.3 times more likely to be subjected to large-scale piratical attacks than those less likely to engage in trade, this was only true when the imperial authorities of the Ming dynasty committed to attaining economic autarky by enforcing the "sea ban" policy most rigorously (1550-1567), but not before they did so or after the policy's abolishment.
