Per Davidsson: Recipient of the 2023 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research
Professor Per Davidsson is the recipient of the 2023 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research. Throughout an extraordinarily productive career, he has made invaluable contributions in building the field of entrepreneurship. His early studies on entrepreneurship and culture and his studies on the growth of small businesses played an important role in the emergence and development of entrepreneurship as a scholarly field of research. He has also,…
Formal and informal entrepreneurship: A cross-country policy perspective
This paper distinguishes between formal and informal entrepreneurship. It theorises that each are influenced by very different combinations of macro-economic factors and strongly moderated by country income levels. Empirically, we show the ease of starting a business and high-quality governance, exert a powerful influence on formal, but not informal entrepreneurship. The latter is influenced by self-employment rates in low-income countries and by…

Persistence and change in interregional differences in entrepreneurship: England and Wales, 1921-2011
The paper explores time-persistence in interregional differences of self-employment rates in England and Wales in the 1921-2011 period by using census data. The results suggest a strong path-dependence in entrepreneurship as past self-employment rates have strong bearing on future ones. However, there is also some rank mobility reflected in the upward movements of London boroughs and downward movements of primarily coastal areas. Rank mobility re…

Entrepreneurship in a Regional Context: Historical Roots, Recent Developments and Future Challenges
Fritsch M. and Storey D. J. Entrepreneurship in a regional context: historical roots, recent developments and future challenges, Regional Studies. This paper reviews research on regional new business formation published in four special issues of Regional Studies over a period of 30 years. It is observed that over those decades there has been a heightened recognition of the role of both formal institutions and ‘soft’ factors such as social capital…
Is Entrepreneurship a Route Out of Deprivation
This paper investigates whether entrepreneurship constitutes a route out of deprivation for those living in deprived areas. The measure of income/wealth used is based on an analysis of improvements in an individual's residential address. The data consist of information on over 800 000 individuals, and come from the customer records of a major UK bank. Comparing business owners with non-owners, the results suggest that the benefits of business own…
What happens to gazelles? The importance of dynamic management strategy
The starting point of this study is Gibrat’s Law, which is contrasted with strategic management. This logic is subsequently applied to a group of remarkably dynamic, high-growth firms: gazelles. Strategic management theory emphasises the importance of firms adjusting strategies in response to changes in the external environment. In our study, it is used to explain several key empirical findings using a novel British data set containing informatio…
The effects of new firm formation on regional development over time: The case of Great Britain
This paper re-examines the link between new firm formation and subsequent employment growth. It investigates whether it is possible to have the wrong type of entrepreneurship—defined as new firm formation which leads to zero or even negative subsequent employment growth. It uses a very similar approach to that of Fritsch and Mueller (Regional Studies, 38(8), 961–976, 2004), confirming their findings that the employment impact of new firm formatio…
Cross-national Comparisons of the Variation in New Firm Formation Rates
Does More Mean Worse? Three Decades of Enterprise Policy in the Tees Valley
This paper argues that there have been three distinct phases of enterprise policy in the UK in the past 30 years: the 1970s saw no effective enterprise policy ('policy off'); the 1980s witnessed an attempt to increase the number of start-ups; and the 1990s saw a concentration on 'business quality'. This paper looks at how enterprise has evolved in Cleveland/Tees Valley over the past three decades. It suggests—and finds—that businesses in the 1980…

REYNOLDS P. D., STOREY D. J. and WESTHEAD P. (1994) Cross-national comparisons of the variation in new firm formation rates, Reg. Studies 28, 443–456. Births of new firms have been seen to be a major source of new employment creation in developed countries. In the European Community (EC), government policy for much of the 1980s focused upon encouraging the startup of new enterprises. This research examines birth rates of new firms by region in Fr…
Where are they now? Some changes in firms located on UK Science Parks in 1986
This article looks at changes in the performance and operation of a group of high technology firms over a four year period, in particular comparing their record of employment creation with that of small new firms as a whole; examining the existence of the often discussed ‘soft‐hard transition’ in products; and the importance of ownership change
