Clusters of Entrepreneurship and Innovation (2014, unknown): “Figure 1 highlights a representative graph from this work taken from Glaeser et al. (2012).”
Entrepreneurship culture, knowledge spillovers and the growth of regions (2018, methodology): “Firstly, it is the most-often-used indicator of REGIONAL STUDIES regional economic performance that can be compared across regional, national and temporal contexts (e.g., Acs & Storey, 2004; Fritsch & Wyrwich, 2014; Glaeser et al., 2015).”
Entrepreneurship as Experimentation (2014, background): “For example, Glaeser et al. (2014) trace the impact of entrepreneurship on long run urban growth by documenting how cities with industrial and mining legacies in 1900 made it harder to create the up-or-out dynamic associated with productivity growth.”
Taxation, corruption, and growth (2016, unknown): “Second, entrepreneurship is known to be the key driver in this urban growth literature (e.g., Glaeser et al. 2010, 2015), and thus we can connect to a broader line of research in this project with this approach.”
Coal Mining, Economic Development, and the Natural Resource Curse (2015, unknown): “More recently, this hypothesis has been supported in a number of empirical studies (Glaeser et al. 1992; Glaeser et al. 2010; Glaeser et al. 2012), as has the hypothesis that small business development supports local growth (Loveridge and Nizalov, 2007).”
Personality Traits of Entrepreneurs: A Review of Recent Literature (2018, unknown): “19 Prominent examples include Saxenian (1994), Kenney (2000), Audretsch and Feldman (2003), and Florida (2004), and recent empirical work includes Falck et al. (2011), Audretsch et al. (2012), Glaeser et al. (2015), Stuetzer et al. (2015), Obschonka et al. (2015), and Sorenson (2017).”
Growing through Cities in Developing Countries (2014, unknown): “Because a mining past can be associated with a general decline in manufacturing, Glaeser, Kerr, and Kerr (2012) replicate their main findings for cities outside the Rust Belt.”
Industry structure, entrepreneurship, and culture: An empirical analysis using historical coalfields (2016, methodology): “Note that historical coal mines were used as an instrument for entrepreneurship in a recent paper by Glaeser et al. (2015) that investigated the causal effect of entrepreneurship on employment growth across U.S. regions.”
