Is the Tendency to Engage in Entrepreneurship Genetic? (2008, background): “In this paper, we argue that the failure to develop a comprehensive understanding of why people engage in entrepreneurial activity has occurred, in part, because researchers have failed to examine an important category of an explanatory factor—genetics.”
Necessity and Opportunity Entrepreneurs in Germany: Characteristics and Earning s Differentials (2010, unknown): “Given that East Germany is a region characterized by high unemployment levels, this finding lends support to the hypothesis that high levels of unemployment pushes unemployed individuals into self-employment due to missing alternatives, as e.g. suggested by Ritsilä and Tervo (2002).”
Industry structure, entrepreneurship, and culture: An empirical analysis using historical coalfields (2016, methodology): “In a robustness check we rely on the growth of Gross Value Added per head (henceforth per capita GVA) and the change in the unemployment rate between 2001 and 2011 as additional controls (Audretsch and Fritsch, 1994; Ritsilä and Tervo, 2002).”
Recent developments in the economics of entrepreneurship (2008, background): “Ritsila and Tervo (2002) have found unemployed individuals to bemore likely to attach higher subjective values to the possible gains from a new business and lower subjective values to possible losses than individuals holding a job.”
Can genetic factors influence the likelihood of engaging in entrepreneurial activity (2009, background): “…evidence of the positive association between education and entrepreneurial activity (see Borjas, 1986; Macpherson, 1988; Borjas and Bronars, 1989; Boyd, 1990; Fernandez and Kim, 1998; Delmar and Davidsson, 2000; Davidsson and Honig, 2003; Rees and Shah, 1986; and Ritsila and Tervo, 2002).”
Cross‐Country Determinants of Early‐Stage Necessity and Opportunity‐Motivated Entrepreneurship: Accounting for Model Uncertainty (2018, unknown): “Some of the findings in this literature suggest that personal unemployment can lead to necessity entrepreneurship (e.g, Ritsil€a and Tervo 2002), and business start-ups borne out of necessity tend to be smaller, require less capital, and exhibit a slower pace of employment growth (Hinz and…”
