Entrepreneurial intentions in the third age: the impact of perceived age norms (2011, background): “Lévesque and Minniti (2006) clarify the age effect in entrepreneurship with the opportunity cost of time by arguing that as individuals get older, they become less willing to invest time in activities that do not produce instant returns, such as starting a new business.”
Thinking About Entrepreneurial Decision Making (2015, background): “For example, as individuals age, there are often accompanying changes in their personal wealth (Lévesque & Minniti, 2006) and attitudes toward independence, work effort, and risk (Lévesque, Shepherd, & Douglas, 2002), which likely influence their entrepreneurial career decision.”
Ageing and entrepreneurial preferences (2013, positive): “That is, the probability of an individual becoming an entrepreneur increases with age up to a certain point (usually between 35 and 44 years) and decreases thereafter (Lévesque and Minniti 2006; Parker 2009).”
Reconceptualizing entrepreneurial exit : divergent exit routes and their drivers (2010, positive): “This influences the subjective value of the discounted future cash flow of a profitable business relative to selling the business so that, all else equal, older entrepreneurs place a lower value on the discounted future cash flow (Lévesque and Minniti, 2006).”
Entrepreneurial role models, fear of failure, and institutional approval of entrepreneurship: a tale of two regions (2016, background): “, paid employment) due to the short time horizon until retirement age (Lévesque and Minniti, 2006).”
Owner‐Management, Firm Age, and Productivity in Italian Family Firms (2014, background): “Firm Age and Performance Several studies have examined the ways in which age influences strategic choices and company performance over time (Jovanovic 2001; Levesque and Minniti 2006; Marshall et al. 2006; Sorensen and Stuart 2000).”
Being in Someone Else’s Shoes: the Role of Gender in Nascent Entrepreneurship (2007, background): “Also, the relationship between age and the likelihood of starting a business picks at a relatively early age and decreases thereafter ( Levesque and Minniti, 2006 ).”
Time and the Entrepreneurial Journey: The Problems and Promise of Studying Entrepreneurship as a Process (2013, methodology): “Unlike mathematical, top-down modeling, which is based on a single, representative agent and evident in economic models of entrepreneurial behavior (e.g., Levesque and Minniti, 2006), bottom-up or agent-based modeling enables closer correspondence to real-world agents of interest.”
Emergence of entrepreneurial behaviour: The role of age-based self-image (2015, background): “…from waged employment that is steady and realized in the present, compared to entrepreneurship which generates an uncertain level of income in the future (Lévesque & Minniti, 2006) or in the worst case scenario, venture failure and limited time to acquire new resources (Wainwright & Kibler, 2014).”
