“…Important implications and promising avenues for future research arise from our study. Construct measurement Our analysis underscores that construct measurement is of critical importance in cross-country entrepreneurship research (Aguinis et al, 2023;Boyd et al, 2005;Chandler & Lyon, 2001;Maula & Stam, 2020;Rietveld & Patel, 2022). Realized high-impact entrepreneurship correlates at 0.11 with high-growth expectations entrepreneurship and at -0.17 with opportunity-motivated entrepreneurship.…”

Comparative international entrepreneurship research has often used measures of high-growth expectations entrepreneurship to proxy for the construct of high-impact entrepreneurship. We revisit this practice by assessing the cross-country association between high-growth expectations and realized high-impact entrepreneurship to speak to construct measurement fit. We find that expectations are not a good proxy for realizations; they are associated with different determinants and outcomes, respectively. We go on to introduce the notion of entrepreneurial projection bias to gauge the misfit between expectations and realizations. Conditioning on entrepreneurial projection bias partially restores the association between realized high-impact entrepreneurship and its determinants (or outcomes) when realizations are proxied using expectations. Furthermore, we show that opportunity-motivated entrepreneurship also does not proxy well for high-impact entrepreneurship. Our analysis brings into question current survey-based approaches to measuring high-impact entrepreneurship and existing rankings of countries’ entrepreneurial performance, with important implications for entrepreneurship theory and policy.

“…According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2020/2021 Report, Brazil exhibited an entrepreneurial intention rate of 43.4%, indicating a substantial interest in starting a business among the population. This statistic underscores the relevance of exploring the factors that contribute to entrepreneurial intentions in Brazil (Rietveld & Patel, 2022).…”

This study aimed to investigate the influence of cultural factors on entrepreneurial intentions in Brazil. The objectives were to examine the relationship between cultural factors and entrepreneurial intentions, identify specific cultural factors contributing to entrepreneurial intentions, and explore the mechanisms through which cultural factors influence entrepreneurial intentions. The study employed an exploratory research design and utilized qualitative analysis and content analysis of previous literature. The findings revealed that cultural dimensions such as collectivism, risk aversion, and societal expectations significantly impact entrepreneurial intentions in Brazil. The strong emphasis on family and community in Brazilian culture shapes the prevalence of family businesses and community-oriented ventures. Moreover, cultural norms and uncertainty avoidance influence individuals' willingness to engage in entrepreneurship. These findings highlight the importance of considering cultural factors in fostering an entrepreneurial culture in Brazil. The study's conclusions emphasize the need for targeted interventions and policies that take into account the cultural dynamics to support and nurture entrepreneurial aspirations in the country.

“…Moreover, the harmonisation of primary data collecting and processing ensures that the scores are a source of comparable data at the international level on the quality of government policies and programmes for entrepreneurs. Nevertheless, some limitations may occur because of the reduced number of experts and the inherently subjective nature of survey responses and, therefore, evaluations (for a discussion on these shortcomings, see Rietveld & Patel, 2022 ). In addition, the scores offer a general assessment of experts’ perception of different factors from the policy framework believed to be relevant for individuals when starting a business and, therefore, fail to acknowledge the heterogenous nature of measures, incentives, and programmes to support entrepreneurs in different countries.…”

Unemployment benefits, entrepreneurship policies, and new business creation

Besides their common link with unemployment, unemployment benefits are also relevant to the decision to become an entrepreneur. We thoroughly explored this relationship for a panel of 23 EU countries over the period 2001–2019. Our results demonstrate that generous unemployment compensations hinder entrepreneurial initiative, and those opportunity entrepreneurs, who are more likely to create new jobs and innovation, are affected more. Contrary to common belief, we find an unequal pattern of effects, with higher benefits being more detrimental at the beginning of the unemployment spell. A favourable policy framework results in being relevant for entrepreneurial endeavours on its own; in addition, high-quality policies and programmes for entrepreneurs are found to temper the negative effects of large unemployment benefits on new business creation during long unemployment spells. Our results support the call for properly designed unemployment benefit systems (as both level and time pattern) that ensure an optimum balance between adequate income replacement and poverty prevention, on the one hand, and limited side effects on new venture creation, on the other hand.
