Institutional Environment and Entrepreneurial Cognitions: A Comparative Business Systems Perspective (2010, background): “Further, government policy shapes the institutional environment in which entrepreneurial decisions are made and hence, can influence the allocation of entrepreneurial activities (Baumol, 1990; Bowen & De Clercq, 2008; Minniti, 2008).”
Formal Institutions and Opportunity Entrepreneurship. The Contingent Role of Informal Institutions (2019, background): “Given its relationship to economic growth and wealth (Minniti, 2008), it has attracted the interest of scholars and policy makers alike to identify both the factors that encourage entrepreneurship and the type of entrepreneurship that generates higher externalities for society (Baumol, 1990; Sobel…”
Capital is not enough: opportunity entrepreneurship and formal institutions (2018, positive): “An economy with higher level of economic freedom is also more likely to promote productive entrepreneurship and less likely to promote unproductive or destructive entrepreneurship (Baumol 1990, 1996; Djankov et al. 2002; Minniti 2008; Sobel 2008).”
Entrepreneurship and second-best institutions: going beyond Baumol’s typology (2010, positive): “Baumol’s (1990) typology dividing entrepreneurial activities into productive, unproductive and destructive forms has proven to be an intuitive and appealing way of classifying the set of activities that require entrepreneurial talent (see, e.g., Minniti 2008 ).”
Corruption and destructive entrepreneurship (2017, positive): “Entrepreneurs look for profit opportunities, which often come from value-generating production, but corrupt institutions also come from unproductive rent-seeking (Baumol 1990, 1996; Acemoglu 1995; Minniti 2008; Sobel 2008).”
National innovation system, social entrepreneurship, and rural economic growth in China (2017, background): “According to Minniti (2008), government policies that shape the institutional environment in which entrepreneurial activities are embedded (Minniti, 2008).”
The role of government policy in entrepreneurship development (2014, background): “For example while [18, 29] are in support of government policies in encouraging entrepreneurship, [16, 17] are on the contrary.”
Entrepreneurship is not a Binding Constraint on Growth and Development in the Poorest Countries (2011, background): “‘An enduring claim in the field of entrepreneurship is that entrepreneurial activity promotes economic growth and development’ (Minniti, 2008: 779).”
Informal Institutions and Their Comparative Influences on Social and Commercial Entrepreneurship: The Role of In‐Group Collectivism and Interpersonal Trust (2016, methodology): “We follow Minniti (2008) in controlling for the effectiveness of government policies, and our data on government effectiveness were obtained from the World Governance Indicators (WGI) database for 2009.”
Opportunities and institutions: A co-creation story of the king crab industry (2015, background): “…with compliance to preexisting regulatory institutions (Ring et al., 2005), is explicitly focused on how government policy influence entrepreneurial behavior (Baumol, 1990; Minniti, 2008), and suggests that standards both enable and constrain entrepreneurial behavior (Garud and Jain, 1996).”
Towards a process theory of entrepreneurial ecosystems (2018, background): “5.1 Resource Acquisition and Flow The legacy of failed government-backed venture capital and venture support programs suggests that the presence of resources like investment capital or knowledge producers alone does not guarantee entrepreneurial success (Minniti 2008; Audretsch et al 2007).”
