The Impact of Educational Levels on Formal and Informal Entrepreneurship (2015, background): “Given that a large part of entrepreneurial activity at this level is not explained if only economic variables are considered (Freytag and Thurik, 2007; Uhlaner and Thurik, 2007), this study aims to broaden the analysis, by focusing on the impact of education on entrepreneurship rates.”

The Prevalence and Determinants of Social Entrepreneurship at the Macro Level (2016, background): “Culture, in which individual values and beliefs are embedded, is assumed to influence a wide range of behaviors, including the choice to become an entrepreneur (Freytag and Thurik 2007; Mueller and Thomas 2001).”
