Job Creation by the Self-employed: The Roles of Entrepreneurial and Financial Capital (2005, methodology): “In contrast to previously reported linear results (Burke et al. 2000, 2002), we can therefore investigate whether a particular control variable has a greater marginal impact on the probability of making the transition from sole trader to small employer, than on the probability of, say, transition…”

Failure or voluntary exit? Reassessing the female underperformance hypothesis (2015, background): “First, as previously mentioned, many studies drawing upon feminist theories demonstrate that females and males have differing goals and orientations towards entrepreneurship (Bird and Brush, 2002; Burke et al., 2002).”
Need for achievement, business goals, and entrepreneurial persistence (2007, background): “4 Control variables Age, whether parents are entrepreneurs, education level, gender, marital status, whether they have children or not, and previous experience are all hypothesized to be related to entrepreneurship process (Gartner, 1985; Birley, 1989; Scherer et al., 1990; Burke et al., 2002).”
Entrepreneurial potential: The role of human and cultural capitals (2014, background): “However, given our interest in studying human capital as applied to entrepreneurship, we excluded those who were unemployed or economically inactive at age 33 (Caspi et al., 1998), which could include dropouts.”

A comparison of the motivations of small business owners in Africa (2009, background): “At the same time “pull” factors, such as the desire to be one’s own boss, increase wealth, change lifestyle or use one’s experience and knowledge, can attract an individual to entrepreneurship (Birley and Westhead, 1994; Burke et al., 2002).”
Being in Someone Else’s Shoes: the Role of Gender in Nascent Entrepreneurship (2007, background): “In fact, recent studies have shown that the choice to start a business is far more complex for women then men, and that women tend to be more sensitive than men to a variety of non-monetary incentives ( Burke et al. 2002 ).”
Environmental conditions and entrepreneurial activity: a regional comparison in Spain (2011, background): “On the other hand, many authors argue that women tend to be more sensitive to non-monetary issues ( Burke et al. , 2002”
Do different institutional frameworks condition the influence of local fear of failure and entrepreneurial examples over entrepreneurial activity? (2007, methodology): “Previous empirical research addresses the entrepreneurial decision through standard probit and logit models as described in Blanchflower and Meyer (1994), Greene (1997), Johansson (2000), Uusitalo (2001) and Burke et al. (2002).”
