Entrepreneurs and Job Growth: Probing the Boundaries of Time and Space (2010, methodology): “Economic researchers have recently identified a strong relationship between entrepreneurship and economic growth (Acs & Armington, 2004b; Acs, Audretsch, Braunerhjelm, & Carlsson, 2006; Audretsch & Keilbach, 2005; Camp, 2005; van Stel, Carree, & Thurik, 2005).”
Measuring Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (2016, background): “But perhaps the most important element of an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem is the presence of a diverse and skilled group of workers ('talent': see e.g. Acs and Armington 2004; Lee et al. 2004; Qian et al. 2013).”
The value of an educated population for an individual's entrepreneurship success (2014, unknown): “Using our specific set of measures of entrepreneurial performance, we address a research question raised by Acs and Armington (2004) who ask whether “human capital characteristics of regions [also] influence the survival, growth and failure of [new] firms?” (p.”
INNOVATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN LAGGING REGIONS (2013, unknown): “Advanced Technology Clusters and Local Growth Another line of research, which builds on the notion that human capital and entrepreneurship are critical for growth, suggests that “advanced technology” or innovative firms are additional growth factors (Acs et al., 2009; Hart and Acs, 2011). Since thes”
Location: A Neglected Determinant of Firm Growth (2007, background): “Still, there is very little known about the impact of location on growth at the micro or firm level (Acs and Armington 2004: 270).”
Multilevel Approaches and the Firm‐Agglomeration Ambiguity in Economic Growth Studies (2012, background): “Relatively little is known about the importance of 3 agglomeration economies to the performance of firms (Acs and Armington 2004, Martin et al. 2008).”
Spatial Heterogeneity in Knowledge, Innovation, and Economic Growth Nexus: Conceptual Reflections and Empirical Evidence (2014, methodology): “Differently from the U.S. case (see among the many others Armington and Acs, 2002; Acs and Armington, 2004, 2006; Storey and Acs, 2004; Acs and Varga, 2005), there is not a comparable indicator of entrepreneurship for the whole population of regions of the EU27 member states.”
The Multiple Effects of Business Planning on New Venture Performance (2010, background): “However, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that venture performance is influenced by geographic location (Acs and Armington, 2004; Reynolds et al., 1994), so we would expect stronger employment growth in regions with higher start-up rates.”
Entrepreneurial ecosystem elements (2019, background): “Perhaps the most important element of an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem is the presence of a diverse and skilled group of workers (‘talent’: see e.g. Acs and Armington 2004; Lee et al. 2004; Qian et al. 2013).”
On the spatial stickiness of UK new firm formation rates (2014, methodology): “…the role of regional human capital (proxied by the education level) on regional new firm formation and provide positive supportive evidence (Acs and Armington, 2004; Lee et al., 2004).12 The theory behind this evidence connects the benefits of human capital to entrepreneurial activity at…”
