Entrepreneurship in a Regional Context: Historical Roots, Recent Developments and Future Challenges (2014, background): “ANDERSSON and KOSTER (2011) and FRITSCH and WYRWICH (in this issue) attribute this stability to a regional culture of entrepreneurship that, as an informal institution, changes only slowly (NORTH, 1994; WILLIAMSON, 2000).”

Regional Social Legitimacy of Entrepreneurship: Implications for Entrepreneurial Intention and Start-up Behaviour (2014, background): “…research suggests that higher regional entrepreneurship levels in the past serve as an ongoing conduit for a positive entrepreneurial climate (ANDERSON and KOSTER,2011), for instance, through increased innovation activities, knowledge spillovers, competition and firm diversity (AUDRETSCH and…”
Start-ups and Local Entrepreneurial Social Capital in the Municipalities of Sweden (2014, background): “ANDERSSON and KOSTER (2011) show a clear persistence in start-up rates at the municipal level. According to them, a partial explanation is differences in ‘entrepreneurial climate’, a factor that links conceptually to local ESC. KARLSSON and BACKMAN (2011) show that local accessibility to human capit”
Industry structure, entrepreneurship, and culture: An empirical analysis using historical coalfields (2016, background): “…that entrepreneurship culture can vary substantially across regions of a country, even though there are country-wide uniform formal rules (e.g., Andersson and Koster, 2011; Aoyama, 2009; Beugelsdijk, 2007; Davidsson, 1995; Obschonka et al., 2013b; Saxenian, 1994; Westlund and Bolton, 2003; and…”

Entrepreneurship and the determinants of firm survival within regions: human capital, growth motivation and locational conditions (2017, unknown): “…entrepreneurship are affected through the social norms and legitimisation of entrepreneurship generated alongside limited role models and networking opportunities (Andersson and Koster 2011; Bosma et al. 2012; Fritsch and Wyrwich 2014; Bastesen and Vatne 2014; Kibler, Kautonen, and Fink 2014).”
Entrepreneurial role models, fear of failure, and institutional approval of entrepreneurship: a tale of two regions (2016, background): “…becomes self-perpetuating over time, which is also indicated by empirical findings showing that the effect of past start-up activities on entrepreneurship is stronger if the level of new firm formation is high (Andersson and Koster, 2011; Chan et al., 2011; Fritsch and Wyrwich, 2014).”
