Abstract: Using the data of China Household Finance Survey, this paper empirically studies the impact of information resources on
household entrepreneurship with IV-Probit model. From the perspective of urban-rural differences, this paper analyzes the differences
and causes of the impacts of information resources on urban-rural household entrepreneurship in China. The research results show that
under the full sample situation, the information resources represented by the number of household access information channels have a
significant role in promoting family entrepreneurship. In the case of urban and rural samples, the number of information channels has
significant differences in urban- rural household entrepreneurship. The number of information channels has a significant role in
promoting rural families, but has a negative effect on urban families. The reason may be the scarcity of information resources in rural
areas and the selectivity bias in urban areas.

Key words: information resources, information channels, urban-rural differences, household entrepreneurship
