Gender effects on risk‐taking of entrepreneurs: evidence from Bulgaria (2011, background): “Risk is a central element of most entrepreneurial decision making, but the effects of risk, risk perceptions, and risk propensities of entrepreneurs on entrepreneurial choices have not been explicitly examined in empirical research ( Forlani and Mullins, 2000”

Missing the Boat or Sinking the Boat: A Study of New Venture Decision Making (2005, background): “The Forlani and Mullins (2000) study also questions whether the two elements of risk—its variability in outcomes (what we refer to as its likelihood of loss) and the size of a possible loss (what we refer to as its magnitude of loss)—influence risky decisions similarly, or in different ways.”
Venture Creation and the Enterprising Individual: A Review and Synthesis (2003, background): “In contrast,Forlani and Mullins (2000)found that entrepreneurs tend to choose ventures with low degrees of variability, but are more willing to accept downside risk.”
