Regional knowledge, entrepreneurial culture, and innovative start-ups over time and space―an empirical investigation (2018, background): “…in southwest Germany argues that the inheritance law in this region created incentives to shift economic activity from agriculture toward some type of craft businesses and this has led to a relatively large number of small businesses (for details, see Fritsch and Wyrwich 2014; 2017a).”
Entrepreneurship and economic development in cities (2015, background): “Although these studies confirm initial positive effects, city size could skew the findings (Van Stel et al. 2005; Fritsch and Storey 2014; Fritsch and Wyrwich 2014a, b) if not decomposed.”
Entrepreneurship and the determinants of firm survival within regions: human capital, growth motivation and locational conditions (2017, unknown): “…entrepreneurship are affected through the social norms and legitimisation of entrepreneurship generated alongside limited role models and networking opportunities (Andersson and Koster 2011; Bosma et al. 2012; Fritsch and Wyrwich 2014; Bastesen and Vatne 2014; Kibler, Kautonen, and Fink 2014).”

Industry structure, entrepreneurship, and culture: An empirical analysis using historical coalfields (2016, methodology): “This matches the empirical evidence which shows that the effect of past start-up activities on entrepreneurship is stronger if the level of new firm formation was already high (Andersson and Koster, 2011; Chan et al., 2011; Fritsch and Wyrwich, 2014).”
Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory (2015, background): “Furthermore, entrepreneurship itself has a pronounced regional dimension, with differences in regional start-up rates, as well as differences in the success of start-ups and entrepreneurial attitudes, all indicating the role of the regional environment in fostering entrepreneurship (Armington and Ac”
Entrepreneurs’ human capital and growth aspirations: the moderating role of regional entrepreneurial culture (2019, background): “Similarly, Fritsch and Wyrwich (2014) suggest that a regional entrepreneurial culture is linked to the transmission of entrepreneurial role models and the social acceptance of entrepreneurship, together with the existence of supporting services.”
