  • Formal and informal entrepreneurship

    Open AccessElaine Laing, André van Stel et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2022

    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…

  • Analyzing the changing education distributions of solo self-employed workers and employer entrepreneurs in Europe

    Open AccessAndré van Stel, Peter van der ZwanARTICLESmall Business Economics2020

    Using macro-level data for 32 European countries, the present paper explores developments in the education distributions among solo self-employed workers and employer entrepreneurs in the non-agricultural economy over the period 1997–2014. Our dynamic analysis reveals that over this period, the number of solo self-employed workers, but particularly the high-educated solo self-employed, has increased considerably in Europe. This trend is even more…

  • Explaining entrepreneurial performance of solo self-employed from a motivational perspective

    Open AccessNardo de Vries, Werner Liebregts et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2020

    This paper investigates the relationship between start-up motivation (opportunity versus necessity) and entrepreneurial performance of an important subset of entrepreneurs, viz., the solo self-employed. We use a unique individual-level panel data set of solo self-employed in the Netherlands (2010–2011) and construct three separate measures derived from the literature to identify necessity-driven solo self-employment. Using annual turnover as meas…

  • Entrepreneurship, export orientation, and economic growth

    Open AccessJolanda Hessels, André van StelARTICLESmall Business Economics2011

    In this paper the relationship between a country’s prevalence of new ventures and its rate of economic growth is investigated, while taking into account new ventures’ export orientation. It is generally acknowledged that new venture creation as well as export activity may both be important strategies for achieving national economic growth. However, to our knowledge no attempt has been made to investigate empirically the role of export-driven new …

  • The effects of new firm formation on regional development over time

    Open AccessPamela Mueller, André van Stel et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2008

    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…

  • The impact of new firm formation on regional development in the Netherlands

    Open AccessAndré van Stel, Kashifa SuddleARTICLESmall Business Economics2008

    This paper examines the relationship between new firm formation and regional employment change in The Netherlands. Using a new regional data base for the period 1988–2002, we examine the time lags involved in the relationship. We also investigate whether the relationship differs by sector and by degree of urbanization. We find that the maximum effect of new businesses on regional development is reached after about 6 years. Our results also sugges…

  • Nascent entrepreneurship and the level of economic development

    Open AccessSander Wennekers, André van Stel et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2008

    Based upon two strands of literature, this paper hypothesizes a U-shaped relationship between a country’s rate of entrepreneurial dynamics and its level of economic development. This would imply a different scope for entrepreneurship policy across subsequent stages of development. Regressing GEM’s 2002 data for nascent entrepreneurship in 36 countries on the level of economic development as measured either by per capita income or by an index for …

  • Knowledge spillovers and new ventures’ export orientation

    Open AccessDirk De Clercq, Jolanda Hessels et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2008

    We draw on the knowledge spillover literature to suggest that a country’s proportion of export-oriented new ventures represents an outcome of knowledge spillovers that stem from foreign direct investment (FDI) and international trade (export spillovers) as well as a source of knowledge spillovers (entrepreneurship spillovers). To test the hypotheses, we use macrolevel data from 34 countries during the period 2002–2005. We find that the relationsh…

  • Explaining female and male entrepreneurship at the country level

    Ingrid Verheul, André van Stel et al.ARTICLEEntrepreneurship and Regional…2006

    Using Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data for 29 countries this study investigates the (differential) impact of several factors on female and male entrepreneurship at the country level. These factors are derived from three streams of literature, including that on entrepreneurship in general, on female labour force participation and on female entrepreneurship. The paper deals with the methodological aspects of investigating (female) entrepreneurs…

The importance of knowledge spillovers for achieving innovation and economic growth is widely recognized. It is not straightforward which types of spillover are most effective: intra-sectoral spillovers or inter-sectoral spillovers. We investigate this controversy using…
