Individual–Level Resources and New Business Activity: The Contingent Role of Institutional Context (2013, methodology): “Conversely, informal institutions operate more in the background and influence economic behavior indirectly (North; Whitley), as exemplified in prevailing guiding principles for how actors should interact or with whom they should interact (Hechavarria & Reynolds, 2009).”
Individualism and entrepreneurship: Does the pattern depend on the social context? (2016, background): “In the case of entrepreneurship, researchers have argued that culture, values, beliefs and norms affect entrepreneurial orientation (Díaz-Casero et al., 2012; Hechavarria and Reynolds, 2009).”
Searching for the existence of entrepreneurial ecosystems: a regional cross-section growth regression approach (2017, background): “First, there is a measurement problem of entrepreneurship, which led to the use of many different proxies for entrepreneurship (Hechavarria and Reynolds 2009; Stenholm et al. 2011).”
Beyond entrepreneurial intentions: values and motivations in entrepreneurship (2014, background): “In the case of culture and entrepreneurship, researchers have argued that a country’s culture, values, beliefs and norms affect the entrepreneurial orientation of its residents (Busenitz and Lau 1996; Hechavarria and Reynolds 2009; Tiessen 1997).”
Necessity entrepreneurship and competitive strategy (2014, unknown): “Our study contributes to our understanding of the strategic consequences of necessity entrepreneurship (Block and Koellinger 2009; Block and Sandner 2009; Block and Wagner 2010; Dencker et al. 2009; Hechavarria and Reynolds 2009; Kautonen and Palmroos 2010; Maritz 2004; Williams 2008).”
Entrepreneurial education and learning at universities: exploring multilevel contingencies (2017, background): “By interviewing a representative sample of a country’s population, the GEM survey provides a reliable indicator of the diffusion of opportunity-driven entrepreneurship at national level (Bowen and De Clercq 2008; Hechavarria and Reynolds 2009; Levie and Autio 2008).”
Varieties of entrepreneurship: exploring the institutional foundations of different entrepreneurship types through ‘Varieties-of-Capitalism’ arguments (2018, background): “Informal institutions influencing entrepreneurship encompass social capital, trust, individualism, power distance, and uncertainty avoidance (Shane 1993; Hechavarria and Reynolds 2009; Taylor and Wilson 2012).”
Formal Institutions and Opportunity Entrepreneurship. The Contingent Role of Informal Institutions (2019, background): “We should notice here that we define opportunity entrepreneurship as one that identifies good business opportunities, expects ventures to provide more new jobs and has a strong correlation with high growth firms (Wennekers et al., 2005; Hechavarria and Reynolds, 2009).”
Twenty-five years of research on institutions, entrepreneurship, and economic growth: what has been learned? (2019, unknown): “Hierarchical (non)linear model 5 5.10 Baughn et al. (2006), Goltz et al. (2015), Hechavarria and Reynolds (2009), Pathak et al. (2013), Yeganegi et al. (2016).”
Macro-level determinants of formal entrepreneurship versus informal entrepreneurship (2014, unknown): “It has been well argued that Hofstede's cultural dimensions do not adequately describe cross-country differences in forms of entrepreneurial activities (Hechavarria and Reynolds, 2009).”
Beyond necessity versus opportunity entrepreneurship: some lessons from English deprived urban neighbourhoods (2011, unknown): “…on off-the-books entrepreneurs has been that they are either universally necessity-driven or universally driven by opportunity and doing so out of choice, despite the wider recognition that “all entrepreneurial activity is not caused by the same motives” (Hechavarria and Reynolds 2009: 420).”
Informal institutions and international entrepreneurship (2017, background): “There is evidence to show that as a country reaches higher levels of self-expressive values, there is a favorable impact on opportunity-based entrepreneurship rates (Hechavarria & Reynolds, 2009).”
Factors influencing the entrepreneurial engagement of opportunity and necessity entrepreneurs (2016, background): “Fourth, differences across countries in terms of opportunity business ownership (Hechavarria and Reynolds 2009) suggest that cultural and economic factors may play a role in the relative importance of opportunity and necessity entrepreneurs.”
