Local Industrial Conditions and Entrepreneurship: How Much of the Spatial Distribution Can We Explain? (2009, background): “We also abstract from ethnic propensities towards starting new enterprises and their uneven spatial distribution (e.g., Fairlie, 1999; Kerr, 2008b; Wadhwa et al., 2007).”
Cultural Diversity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship: Firm-level Evidence from London (2013, unknown): “Notably, Wadhwa et al. (2007) suggested that decisions to migrate reﬂect both expected returns and the taste for risk taking so that migrants may be highly entrepreneurial.”
Immigration and Entrepreneurship (2015, unknown): “More directly related to business ownership, immigrants are also over-represented among founders of high-tech companies (Saxenian, 2002; Wadhwa et al., 2007), biotech firms (Monti et al.”
High-Tech Immigrant Entrepreneurship in the United States (2011, unknown): “…selection bias for immigrant entrepreneurs because they are geographically restricted.7 The firm size threshold ($1 million in sales or 20 employees) used by Wadhwa et al. (2007) is likely to exclude many small hightech companies that are growing rapidly and making important economic contributions.”
Breakthrough Inventions and Migrating Clusters of Innovation (2009, background): “Borjas (1994) and Kerr and Kerr (2008) survey the immigration literatures, and Saxenian (1999), Stephan and Levin (2001), and Wadhwa et al. (2007) provide additional descriptions of high-skilled SE immigration.”
Matching opportunities with resources: A framework for analysing (migrant) entrepreneurship from a mixed embeddedness perspective (2010, background): “On the other end of the scale, there are also, still, large numbers of low-skilled migrants (Held et al. 1999, 324–5; Wadhwa et al. 2007).”
Immigrant entrepreneurship in America: Evidence from the survey of business owners 2007 & 2012 (2020, unknown): “Examples of studies for high-tech immigrant entrepreneurship include (Anderson and Platzer, 2006; Monti et al., 2007; Saxenian, 1999; 2002; Wadhwa et al., 2007), and Hart and Acs (2011).”
How Much Does Immigration Boost Innovation? (2009, background): “…recipients from 1990–2000 were immigrants (Peri 2007), as were 25% of founders of public venture–backed U.S. companies in 1990–2005 (Anderson and Platzer n.d.), and founders of 25% of high–tech companies founded 1995–2005 with more than one million dollars in sales in 2006 (Wadhwa et al. 2007).”
The Supply Side of Innovation: H‐1B Visa Reforms and U.S. Ethnic Invention (2010, background): “Two commercial ethnic name enian (2002), Matloff (2003, 2004), Miano (2005, 2008), Wadhwa et al. (2007), Kerr (2008), National Foundation for American Policy (2008), and Hunt (2009).”
Ethnic matching in the U.S. venture capital market (2015, unknown): “Research by Saxenian and coauthors suggests that entrepreneurs who are immigrants and/or belong to an ethnic minority form a large subgroup of all innovation-based startup founders in the United States (Saxenian 1999, 2006; Wadhwa et al. 2007).”
Same difference? Minority ethnic inventors, diversity and innovation in the UK (2015, background): “This implies that some migrants are ‘pre-selected’ on the basis of skill and entrepreneurialism (Wadhwa et al., 2007).”
