Serial entrepreneurship: impact of human capital on time to re-entry (2011, methodology): “For the purpose of this research, ‘‘entrepreneurs’’ includes all individuals who report themselves as business owners, with full or partial ownership (Parker 2004; Van Stel 2005) and who have started or acquired a business (Westhead and Wright 1998).”

Local labor force education, new business characteristics, and firm performance (2010, background): “Selfemployment data are widely available and are often used to proxy for entrepreneurial activity (see e.g., Blau 1987; Storey 1991; van Stel 2005).”
The institutions of economic freedom and entrepreneurship: evidence from panel data (2008, methodology): “An additional argument for excluding the agricultural sector is that since self-employment is the “natural” type of employment this sector is structurally different from other sectors ( van Stel, 2005 ).”
Entrepreneurship and its determinants in a cross-country setting (2007, background): “7 For instance, see Van Stel (2005) for data of 23 OECD countries over a recent period of some thirty years.”
The effect of intrapreneurship on corporate performance (2012, background): “…entrepreneurial spirit (McGinnis and Verney, 1987), which is reinforced by the fact that smaller firms are traditionally seen as a vehicle for entrepreneurship due to their contribution in terms of innovation and competitive power for economic growth and social and political stability (Stel, 2005).”
Total factor productivity and the role of entrepreneurship (2016, unknown): “Here we follow Parker (2009, p. 10-14), and many others, in using the business ownership rate8 as a measure of ‘aggregate’ entrepreneurship.”
What turns knowledge into innovative products? The role of entrepreneurship and knowledge spillovers (2009, unknown): “The quotient of these two variables is called the business ownership rate (Van Stel 2005).”
Entrepreneurship and culture (2010, background): “It is well-known that the level of entrepreneurial activity, for instance as expressed as the percentage of owner/managers of businesses relative to the labor force, differs strongly across countries (Van Stel 2005).”
The relationship between economic development and business ownership revisited (2007, background): “Van Stel (2005) demonstrates similar differences across the 23 OECD countries over a long recent period.”
Does self-employment reduce unemployment? (2005, unknown): “This simple theory of income choice has been the basis for a range of studies focusing on the decision of individuals to become self-employed (Parker, 2004; Grilo and Thurik, 2005; Grilo and Irigoyen, 2006).”
Determinants of entrepreneurial engagement levels in Europe and the US (2008, methodology): “Alternative frameworks are provided by Busenitz, Gomez and Spencer (2000), Stevenson and Lundström (2001) and by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (Reynolds, Hay and Camp, 1999 and Reynolds, Bygrave, Autio, Cox, and Hay, 2002).”
