The impact of local social capital on different types of entrepreneurship
利用2018-2021年英国数据,研究了地方社会资本对生存型与机会型、低增长与高增长等不同类型创业活动的差异化影响,发现社会资本在危机时期尤其支持低抱负的创业形式。
We develop a conceptual framework that links local social capital with different types of business start-ups (necessity and opportunity, low- and high-growth ambition, exporting and not, innovative and less innovative). We empirically test these relationships, utilising UK data, between 2018 and 2021. We gain unique insights at a granular spatial level on the diverse impact of local social capital on types of entrepreneurial activity. Our findings show that local social capital may be important in supporting less ambitious forms of entrepreneurship, particularly during crises.
