“…By carefully looking across different industries, this work illustrates a general pattern but also illustrates how the costs and benefits of career choices vary by context. Clayton, Donegan, Feldman, Forbes, Lowe, and Polly (2019) analyze a specific context-the regional economy of North Carolina's Research Triangle-to construct a rich data set and narrative about the interaction between incumbent employers, entrepreneurial firms born in different eras, and the careers of life scientists. They make vivid how the local opportunity structure, as defined by the base of local versus multinational employers, academic institutions, and large and small entrepreneurial firms, provides different kinds of experiences over time.…”

With the growing attention to entrepreneurship as an engine of job creation and economic development, it is important for social scientists who are broadly interested in labor market and employment topics to focus attention on new firms and the policies and practices that surround them. The authors argue that the next generation of scholarship should pay particular attention to labor market institutions, the ecosystem of existing employers, and the human resource management practices that provide the strategic context for entrepreneurs and shape the career opportunities for workers. Remarkable variation occurs across space and time in the prevalence and performance of entrepreneurs. There are also many open questions as to the antecedents and consequences of entrepreneurship, for entrepreneurs, their communities, and their employees. The availability of new administrative data across many countries will allow for comparative cross-national studies and will provide opportunities to bring qualitative and mixed-method approaches to entrepreneurial labor market studies. This introduction and the articles in this special issue offer a path forward.

“…A rich set of establishment‐level characteristics are also included such as latitude and longitude, employment count, the primary North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) at a six‐digit level. NETS data have been used to study a wide range of economic issues including, but not limited to, local entrepreneurship (Clayton et al., 2019), business concentration (Rossi‐Hansberg et al., 2020), employment effects from art and cultural district designation (Wagner & Portillo, 2023), and how low‐cost retailers affect local business concentration (Neto & Biehl, 2023).…”

Does broadband affect local economic outcomes less than we thought? Micro evidence from Louisiana

High‐speed internet access is a core tenet of economic development strategies post‐COVID. While expanding access is linked to many positive benefits, evidence associating broadband to job growth and business formation is more mixed. This study expands the literature along several dimensions, most notably exploring how business download speeds affect employment, business formation, and survival at a microscale. Using conventional and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator instrumental variables strategies, with terrain features as instruments, we find consistent evidence that broadband speeds stimulate local development. However, our estimates are 60%–65% smaller than those from recent studies, suggesting that broadband may be less beneficial than previously assumed.

“…The dynamics of an ecosystem refer to how its components interact and generate outcomes that can influence and shape opportunities (Clayton, Donegan, Feldman, Forbes, Lowe, & Polly, 2019). In an entrepreneurial ecosystem, these conditions can be deemed as even more critical, because such meta-organizations encompass companies based on the intense use of knowledge and innovation, as well as technological and market disruption, which are often embedded in the economic trajectories of these cities and regions (Malerba & McKelvey, 2020;Sousa & Silva, 2019).…”

This study aims to analyze the impact of knowledge and socioeconomic dimensions on entrepreneurial ecosystem dynamics when addressing the emergence of green and 'traditional' knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship (KIE). The methodological approach used in the study was quantitative, using structural equation modeling. Our empirical analysis comprises data from 645 municipalities in the state of São Paulo and 1,372 companies participating in the Innovative Research in Small Businesses (PIPE) program administered by the São Paulo Research Foundation (Fapesp). Of these projects, 343 represent green KIE (25% of the total), and 1,029 are traditional KIE, thus allowing a sound comparative analysis. Results confirmed the positive impact of knowledge and socioeconomic dimensions on entrepreneurial ecosystem dynamics. Moreover, findings show a homogeneous pattern in this relationship for cities that do contain green KIE and cities that do not. Hence, it does not seem necessary to promote different ecosystems configurations in order to foster sustainable transitions in entrepreneurial ecosystems. Rather, policies and initiatives targeting technological generation and diffusion in green technologies can likely represent an effective transformational strategy to achieve environmentfriendly productive systems.
