"Are
There Too Many Entrepeneurs? A Model of Client-Based
Entrepreneurship"
James E. Rauch and Joel Watson, Berkeley Olin Program in Law
& Economics
Abstract: Client relationships create value, which employees may try
to wrest from their employers by setting up their own firms. Firms
counter by inducing workers to sign contracts that prohibit them
from competing or soliciting former clients in the event of
termination of employment. Society trades off higher effort by self
employed workers against the cost of establishing redundant
businesses, and local governments compete to attract clients.
"Beyond
Ethnic Entrepreneurship: Ethnicity and the Economy in
Enterprise"
Zulema Valdez, Center for Comparative Immigration Studies
Abstract: Although entrepreneurial success is often attributed to
reciprocity in "ethnic resources" or "social
capital," this explanation does not directly address ethnic
groups with marginal business-ownership, such as among Mexicans, or
non-immigrant, "non-ethnic" business-ownership, such as
among Whites. Instead of focusing on ethno-cultural differences,
this presentation suggests that three forms of economic
integration-market-exchange, reciprocity, and
redistribution--combine to facilitate entrepreneurship in a market
economy.

Entrepreneurship
and the deregulation of banking: how strong is the evidence?
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
Abstract: This paper demonstrates that recent results suggesting a
positive relationship between banking deregulation and
entrepreneurship are very sensitive to estimation assumptions.
Entrepreneurship
and the Policy Environment
Federal Reserve Bank of St.
Louis
Abstract: This paper uses a spatial panel approach to examine the
effect of the government-policy environment on the level of
entrepreneurship. Specifically, we investigate whether marginal
income tax rates and bankruptcy exemptions influence rates of
entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship
and the Process of Obtaining Resource Commitments
Thomas F. Hellman
Abstract: Most theories of the firm ignore the entrepreneurial
process of how the various resources of the firm are combined in the
first place. This paper examines the process of how an entrepreneur
obtains commitments from multiple resource providers to create a new
venture.
Entrepreneurial
Behaviour in a Large Traditional Firm: Exploring Key Drivers
Johanna Mair, IESE Business School
Abstract: While traditional management literature has identified
contextual features that foster entrepreneurial activity, little
research has looked at why -in the same objective organizational
context- some managers act entrepreneurially and others do not. I
recognize the importance of context in shaping managerial behaviour.
However, while differences in the behavioural context might explain
variance in entrepreneurial behaviour between companies, they fail
to explain variance within the same company.

On
the Evolution of Overconfidence and Entrepreneurs
Antonio Bernardo and Ivo Welch
Abstract: This paper explains why seemingly irrational overconfident
behavior can persist. Information aggregation is poor in groups in
which most individuals herd. By ignoring the herd, the actions of
overconfident individuals (“entrepreneurs”) convey their private
information.
Organizational
Roles and Transitions to Entrepreneurship
Stanislave D. Dobrev; William P. Barnett
Abstract: This paper asks how we can predict entrepreneurship, an
individual's participation in the founding of a new organization. We
advance a model that combines aspects of two distinct perspectives
on entrepreneurship: the social structural view that sees context as
the driving force in new venture formation, and the perspective that
each founding is an idiosyncratic event attributable to the charisma
of the entrepreneur.

When
Do Employees Become Entrepreneurs?
Thomas F. Hellmann
Abstract: Many new firms are started by entrepreneurs who got the
idea while working for their previous employer. Sometimes employers
also agree to develop their employees' ideas internally. This paper
develops a multi-task incentives model to analyze optimal corporate
strategies towards employee innovations.
