You Say Illegal, I Say Legitimate: Entrepreneurship in the Informal Economy
整合微观创业理论与宏观制度、中观集体认同理论，探讨非正规经济中机会识别与利用的机制，以及向正规经济转型的影响因素。
The entrepreneurial process drives economic activities in the formal economy; however, little is known theoretically about how the entrepreneurial process works in the informal economy. To address this theoretical gap, we employ a multilevel perspective integrating entrepreneurship theory (microlevel) with institutional (macrolevel) and collective identity (mesolevel) theories to examine the role institutions and collective identity play in the recognition and exploitation of opportunities in the informal economy. Additionally, we explore factors that influence the transition to the formal economy.
