Coworking-spaces: how a phenomenon of the sharing economy builds a novel trend for the workplace and for entrepreneurship (2016, result): “Based on a survey in 15 European countries, Noorderhaven et al. (2004) show similar results.”
Life satisfaction and self-employment: a matching approach (2010, background): “Noorderhaven et al. (2004) observe that the levels of “dissatisfaction with life” observed in a society are positively associated with self-employment rates.”
Entrepreneurship and its determinants in a cross-country setting (2007, background): “It argues that, in a predominantly non-entrepreneurial culture, a clash of values between these groups may drive the latter away from the average (non-entrepreneurial) organization and into selfemployment (Baum et al. 1993; Noorderhaven et al. 2004).”
Institutions and Entrepreneurship Quality (2018, background): “Existing research has examined the micro- (Kihlstrom & Laffont, 1979; van Praag, 1999) and macro-level (Stenholm et al., 2013; Grilo & Thurik, 2005; Noorderhaven et al. 2004) elements that explain why different countries have different levels of entrepreneurship.”
Beyond entrepreneurial intentions: values and motivations in entrepreneurship (2014, background): “Related to the “cultural dissatisfaction” hypothesis (Noorderhaven et al. 2004), recent work has considered the role of alternative satisfactory employment opportunities in the formation of entrepreneurial intentions.”
Religious institutions and entrepreneurship (2014, background): “…(Busenitz et al. 2000; Carsrud and Johnson 1989; Davidson 1995; Davidson and Wilklund 1997; Hayton et al. 2002; Huisman 1985; Hunt and Levie 2004; Lee and Peterson 2000; Levie and Hunt 2004; McGrath and MacMillan 1992; Mueller and Thomas 2001; Shane 1993; Tiessen 1997; Noorderhaven et al. 2004).”
Uncertainty avoidance and the rate of business ownership across 21 OECD countries, 1976–2004 (2006, background): “There is a general intuition that cultural rather than economic variables play a role in explaining these differences, since cultural aspects are relatively time invariant ( Noorderhaven et al. 2004 ).”
Nascent entrepreneurship and the level of economic development (2005, background): “In this respect, social security benefits determining the opportunity costs of unemployed persons may also interact with unemployment (Noorderhaven et al., 2004).”
