As a result, cultivating a strong culture of entrepreneurial thinking has become a primary goal throughout the world. Surprisingly, there has been little systematic research or comparative analysis to show how the growth of entrepreneurship differs among countries in various stages of development. International Differences in Entrepreneurship fills this void by explaining how a country's institutional differences, cultural considerations, and personal characteristics can affect the role that entrepreneurs play in its economy. Developing an understanding of the origins of entrepreneurs as well as the choices they make and the complexity of their activities across countries and industries are of central importance to this volume. In addition, contributors consider how environmental factors of individual economies, such as market regulation, government subsidies for banks, and support for entrepreneurial culture affect the industry and the impact that entrepreneurs have on growth in developing nations. 410 0$aConference report (National Bureau of Economic Research) 606 $aEntrepreneurship$vCongresses 606 $aEntrepreneurship$vCase studies 606 $aEconomic policy$vCongresses 606 $aTrade regulation$vCongresses 606 $aSmall business$xGovernment policy$zDeveloping countries$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship 615 0$aEntrepreneurship 615 0$aEconomic policy 615 0$aTrade regulation 615 0$aSmall business$xGovernment policy 676 $a338/.04 701 $aLerner$b Joshua$0126643 701 $aSchoar$b Antoinette$0941938 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459504103321 996 $aInternational differences in entrepreneurship$92125339 997 $aUNINA
