Out of the shadows: a classification of economies by the size and character of their informal sector (2014, background): “This recognition first emerged in a third (majority) world context (Cross, 2000; Cross and Morales, 2007; De Soto, 1989, 2001; Neuwirth, 2011).”
Beyond necessity versus opportunity entrepreneurship: some lessons from English deprived urban neighbourhoods (2011, unknown): “This is also the finding of Cross (1997, 2000).”
Entrepreneurs Operating in the Informal Economy: Necessity or Opportunity Driven? (2007, unknown): “This is also the finding of Cross (1997, 2000) in his study of street vendors who argues that whilst these informal entrepreneurs have been conventionally represented as doing such work out of necessity due to a lack of other opportunities, he finds that many conduct this work out of choice.”
Entrepreneurship and the Informal Sector (2009, background): “This more entrepreneurial re-reading of the informal sector first emerged in a majority (Third) World context (Cross, 2000; Cross and Morales, 2007; De Soto, 1989, 2001; ILO, 2002a; Rakowski, 1994).”
Beyond Necessity-Driven Versus Opportunity-Driven Entrepreneurship (2008, background): “Today, it is widely recognized that many individuals engaged in the informal economy are pursuing entrepreneurial ventures (Browne, 2004; Cross, 2000; De Soto, 1989, 2001; Evans et al, 2006; Franks, 1994; ILO, 2002; Rakowski, 1994; Small Business Council, 2004; Williams, 2005a and b, 2006).”
Determinants of the Level of Informality of Informal Micro-Enterprises: Some Evidence from the City of Lahore, Pakistan (2016, background): “On the other hand, others have viewed informality more as a voluntary decision to “exit” the formal economy, rather than a result of involuntary exclusion (Cross 2000; Snyder 2004).”
Informal Entrepreneurship and Industry Conditions (2016, background): “Second, enforcement agents can empathize with those entrepreneurs who undertake informality as means of subsistence, thereby limiting the severity and consistency of their actual enforcement (Cross, 2000).”
