“…A myriad of studies has been devoted to explain the effects of the types of institutions on: level of entrepreneurship (e.g. Busenitz et al, 2000;Westlund and Bolton, 2003;Spencer and Gomez, 2004;Lee et al, 2007;Aidis et al, 2008;Nyström, 2008;Greener, 2009;Mitchell and Campbell, 2009;Stenholm et al, 2013;Simon-Moya et al 2013;Urbano and Alvarez, 2014;Bastian et al, 2015;Castano et al, 2015;Williams and Vorley, 2015;Majbouri, 2016;and Elert et al, 2017) and types or natures of entrepreneurship (e.g. Baumol,1990;Stephen et al, 2005;Sobel, 2008;Bowen and De Clercq, 2008;El-Harbi and Anderson, 2010;Trolio, 2011;Stenholm et al, 2013;Valdez and Richardson, 2013;Dau and Cuervo-Cazurra, 2014;Sambharya and Musteen, 2014;Aparicio et al, 2015;Fuentelsaz et al, 2015;Muralidharan and Pathak, 2016;Fuentelsaz et al, 2018).…”

There are various studies on the role of institutional and non-institutional factors in developing the level and nature (or types) of entrepreneurship. In these studies, there have been no attention to the causal relationship between these variables, and the direction of the causality are considered unidirectional and from institutions to the entrepreneurship. Furthermore, the current studies have only investigated the role of institutional factors in developing entrepreneurship for the short-run and there was no attention for a long-run. Moreover, it should be noted that, this relationship is studied disregarding the level of the economic development of countries. Therefore, the main aim of this article is to investigate the causality between institutions and entrepreneurship regarding to the level of economic development (Factor-driven, Efficiency-driven and Innovation-driven countries) in both short and long term. The results show that the bidirectional causality between institutions and entrepreneurship is confirmed only in the innovation-driven countries, and only in the long-run.

This study uses Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and World Bank Group Entrepreneurship Survey data from 40 countries from 2002 to 2008 to examine the linkage between governance matters and entrepreneurial activities. Based on the conceptual model of GEM and by using fixed‐effects panel analysis, the results show that political stability and absence of violence, rule of law, and control of corruption are highly significant determinants of entrepreneurial activities. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…The size and scope of the government institutions and organizations to promote bribe incites and positively affects corruption (Calderon, Alvarez-Arce, and Mayoral, 2009;Doucouliagos and Ulubasoglu, 2008), while geographical factors can mitigate against corruption (Goel and Nelson, 2010). The absence or low level of corruption in developed countries encourages innovation, and the citizens becomes successful entrepreneurs, while developing countries experience growth through small business entrepreneurs as a result of the high level of corruption which discourages the establishment of big corporations (Mitchell and Campbell, 2009).…”

Corruption has a major impact on growth in low-income economies, while ease of doing business has a major impact on growth in developed countries. The study empirically examines the effect of corruption on ease of doing business. The study analyses unbalanced panel data of corruption rank, corruption score, control of corruption, and inflation, together with other economic and financial institutional factors and ease of doing business score for the period of 2004–2017. Results indicate that: corruption rank, inflation, and import have negative and significant effect on ease of doing business; corruption score, control of corruption, lending rate spread, and education (skill level) have positive and significant effect on ease of doing business; gross capital formation and population have insignificant negative effect on ease of doing business; export and gross domestic product have insignificant positive effect on ease of doing business. The random effect model is a consistent and most efficient model, indicating common mean value for ease of doing business for the dataset. The study recommends improved corruption scores, control of corruption, and ranks to encourage ease of doing business through monetary policy and infrastructural facilities.
