• Roots to Grow: Family Firms and Local Embeddedness in Rural and Urban Contexts (2018, methodology): “…Ramirez-Pasillas, & Karlsson, 2002; Watts, Wood, & Wardle, 2006; Welter, 2011), such as innovation (Huggins & Thompson, 2014), knowledge sharing (Huggins & Johnston, 2009), new venture creation (Breitenecker et al., 2017) and firm growth (Audretsch & Dohse, 2007; Dahl & Sorenson, 2012).”
• Industrial Dynamics and Clusters: A Survey (2015, background): “Most founders prefer to locate in the region in which they are already located, reflecting the high costs of relocation (FIGUEIREDO et al., 2002) as well as social ties (DAHL and SORENSON, 2012).4”
• Towards a process theory of entrepreneurial ecosystems (2018, background): “While there is little data about the migration of entrepreneurs after a successful exit, existing work has shown that entrepreneurs who have lived in a place longer and who have deeper social ties there tend to be more successful (Dahl and Sorenson, 2012).”
• Thinking About Entrepreneurial Decision Making (2015, background): “Environment as entrepreneurial decision context Bamford et al., 2000 Dahl & Sorenson, 2012 Dorado & Ventresca, 2013 George et al., 2006 Holt, 1997 Lévesque et al., 2009 Lévesque & Shepherd, 2004 Lim et al., 2010 Lu & Tao, 2010 Mullins, 1996 Van Auken et al., 2009 Van Horn & Harvey, 1998 Table 1…”
• Gender differences in the contribution patterns of equity-crowdfunding investors (2017, unknown): “Given that entrepreneurs have a richer endowment of social capital from their home country (Dahl and Sorenson 2012), we control for location, which is set to one if the firm is located in Sweden and otherwise is set to zero.”
• What makes student entrepreneurs? On the relevance (and irrelevance) of the university and the regional context for student start-ups (2016, background): “…empirical observation that individuals generally launch start-ups where they were born, work or live (Stam, 2009) – and that that these entrepreneurs are more successful with their new firm than those who move to another region to start their firm (Dahl & Sorenson, 2012; Michelacci & Silva, 2007).”
• Knowledge-Based Regional Economic Development: A Synthetic Review of Knowledge Spillovers, Entrepreneurship, and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (2018, background): “…locate spin-offs near their parents, but it is logical to consider factors such as high relocation costs, which include the opportunity cost of losing local networks (Dahl & Sorenson, 2012) and factors that benefit their parents, such as local specialized suppliers and services (Boschma, 2015).”
