Two Hundred Eighty Characters of Environment
Corporate environmental communication has become an essential aspect of modern business practices, as stakeholders increasingly demand transparency and accountability regarding sustainability efforts. Within this context, we examine whether firms use environmental communication on X/Twitter to offset weaker relative environmental performance and how financial markets value such communication. Combining text mining techniques with econometric anal…
Bridging the gender gap in mathematics
Reducing gender disparities in STEM education is essential both for addressing broader gender inequalities and for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. This paper investigates the relationship between gender differences in mathematics achievement at school—one of the strongest predictors of gender segregation in higher education—and female enrolment in STEM degree programmes across Italian provinces. Drawing on Bourdieu’s conceptualisatio…
The impact of crime on firm entry
The article investigates the effect of crime on firm entry rates in Italian provinces over the period 2007–2016. The extant literature focuses mainly on the relationship between crime and the sorting of new businesses. The present paper contributes to this stream of work by estimating the effect of crime on the overall propensity to engage in entrepreneurial activities across a national territory. We measure the extent to which property and viole…
The impact of teaching on third mission activities of higher education institutions
This study analyses the effect of a change of focus in a traditional mission (teaching) of higher education institutions (HEIs) on the variety and intensity of knowledge exchange (KE) activities. In doing so, it bridges two partially disconnected streams of the literature in science and innovation focusing on HEI missions and heterogeneity in HEI KE activities. The work relies on a longitudinal dataset from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) compr…

Better late than never’
This paper investigates the relationship between green/non-green technologies and firm growth. By combining the literature on eco-innovations, industrial organisation and entrepreneurial studies, we examine the dependence of this relationship on the pace at which firms grow and the age of the firm. From a dataset of 5498 manufacturing firms in Italy for the period of 2000–2008, longitudinal fixed effects quantile models are estimated, in which th…
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and academic entrepreneurial preference
Although commercialization of research activities has drawn some research attention, more studies are warranted to clearly understand the drivers behind academic entrepreneurship. The present paper investigates the association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and academic entrepreneurial preference. ADHD symptoms have typically been associated with impaired occupational functioning among wage employees. Recent stud…
Migration, ethnic concentration and firm entry
There is a growing body of literature highlighting the positive contributions of migration and diasporas to economic growth, innovation and productivity. One of the channels facilitating these effects is entrepreneurship. This paper provides novel empirical evidence concerning the link between migration and firm entry across Italian regions during the period 2004–14, and it explores the role of ethnic concentration in this context. The results sh…
The impact of hard and soft policy measures on new technology-based firms
The impact of hard and soft policy measures on new technology-based firms. Regional Studies. Entrepreneurship policies in support of new technology-based firms fall into two main categories of intervention: hard measures (financial-type support such as loans and grants) and soft measures (counselling and business advice services). This study investigates the association between hard and soft support measures delivered to entrepreneurs, and the pe…
