Where Do New Firms Come From?
评论了Rodriguez等人关于家庭内部社会资本影响企业创建的研究，强调家庭作为孵化器和机会平台的重要性，并指出社会资本具有嵌套性，家庭应被视为整体福利的一部分。
The creation of new firms is an important economic activity; however, understanding of the actual venture-creation process remains limited. P. Rodriguez, C. S. Tuggle, and S. M. Hackett (2009) address this deficiency by adopting an internal social capital perspective and examining the effects of family financial, social, health, and ethnic contexts on firm creation. This commentary extends their work by reinforcing that households are important units of analysis and are usefully viewed as incubators and opportunity platforms for venture creation. It further suggests that social capital has a nested nature and that households should be viewed as part of the overall welfare mix.
