Institutional Environments for Entrepreneurship: Evidence from Emerging Economies in Eastern Europe
研究验证了一个测量国家制度环境对创业促进作用的工具，基于保加利亚、匈牙利和拉脱维亚254名商科学生的数据，发现三国在监管、认知和规范维度上存在显著差异。
In this article, we sought to empirically validate an instrument for measuring country institutional profiles for the promotion of entrepreneurship in a sample of 254 business students from three emerging economies: Bulgaria, Hungary, and Latvia. Results from the confirmatory factor analysis suggest high reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the instrument. Further, we find important differences in the three dimensions (regulatory, cognitive, and normative) of the institutional profiles across the three emerging economies, reflecting their idiosyncratic cultural norms and values, traditions, and institutional heritage in promoting entrepreneurship. Implications for future research, managerial practice, and public policy are discussed.
