Being in Someone Else’s Shoes: the Role of Gender in Nascent Entrepreneurship (2007, background): “On the other hand, financial resources are among the main constraints faced by potential entrepreneurs (Evans and Jovanovic, 1989; Carter and Rosa, 1998; Verheul and Thurik, 2001), especially in poorer countries and among women.”
Diversity in Entrepreneurship: Ethnic and Female Roles in Urban Economic Life (2003, background): “On the other hand, it is often argued that female entrepreneurs also tend to use their own capital or to obtain capital from family members (Bruce 1999, CEEDR 2000, OECD 1998 and 2001a, Verheul and Thurik 2001).”
The Yin and Yang of entrepreneurship: Gender differences in the importance of communal and agentic characteristics for entrepreneurs' subjective well-being and performance (2019, background): “, through bootstrapping), which tends to be less problematic for men (Verheul and Thurik, 2001).”
What the numbers tell: The impact of human, family and financial capital on women and men's entry into entrepreneurship in Turkey (2012, background): “Furthermore, consistent with Verheul and Thurik (2001), we found that men and women in Turkey do not differ significantly in the role of financial capital in facilitating entry into entrepreneurship.”
Gender Differences in Entrepreneurial Propensity (2013, neutral): “And, using a panel of Dutch entrepreneurs, Verheul and Thurik (2001) showed that an important component of the gender difference in self-employment may stem from women’s ability to obtain financing.”
Explaining preferences and actual involvement in self-employment: Gender and the entrepreneurial personality (2012, background): “…distinguishing between mediation and moderation effects in the area of gender and entrepreneurship is not new (Collins-Dodd, Gordon, & Smart, 2004; Verheul & Thurik, 2001), testing for such effects is novel within the present context: that of the latent and active stages of the entrepreneurial…”
Gender and corporate finance: Are male executives overconfident relative to female executives? (2013, neutral): “Gender has been examined in other business settings, including stock trading behavior (Barber and Odean, 2001), the mutual fund industry (Atkinson, Baird, and Frye, 2003), start-up firms (Verheul and Thurik, 2001), and competitive environments in laboratory settings (Niederle and Versterlund, 2007).”
A comparison of new firm financing by gender: evidence from the Kauffman Firm Survey data (2009, background): “By the same token, women are more likely to avoid external sources of financing which would force them to give up control and take on higher levels of risk (Verheul and Thurik 2001; Constantinidis et al. 2006).”
Women Entrepreneurs and Financial Capital (2006, background): “This logic provides two alternative explanations of the findings that women receive a disproportionate low share of capital (Brush et al., 2002; Carter et al., 2003; Greene et al., 2001; Industry Canada, 2005; Verheul & Thurik, 2001).”
Gender Stereotypes and Venture Support Decisions: How Governmental Venture Capitalists Socially Construct Entrepreneurs’ Potential (2017, background): “…have suggested that gender differences when seeking access to finance may be explained by financiers’ individual perceptions and practices, which unconsciously disadvantage and discriminate against female entrepreneurs (Carter, Shaw, Lam, & Wilson, 2007; Fraser, 2005; Verheul & Thurik, 2001).”
Explaining female and male entrepreneurship at the country level (2005, neutral): “Women may have more problems securing finance through the regular channels because their business profile usually is less favourable for investors than that of men, with women starting smaller businesses, in services and often working part-time (Verheul and Thurik 2001).”
Microcredit: an answer to the gender problem in funding? (2011, background): “The second effect is more direct: funding discrepancies cannot be attributed to these previous factors, in which case we are faced with a ‘‘gender effect’’ ( Verheul and Thurik 2001 ).”
