New firm formation is an important determinant of regional development. Entrepreneurial decisions on location choice are affected by numerous factors. Given the importance of local regional characteristics, this study focuses on the dynamics behind the regional formation of new firms in Turkey using balanced panel data from 1997 to 2006. An initial set of analyses underline the ongoing persistence of the unequal distribution of new firms. Among various factors, results obtained from different panel models suggest the importance of local demand, provincial business cycles, human capital development, and financial availabilities to explain the regional differences of new firm formation in Turkey. These results, which are robust to the inclusion of spatial links, also confirm that the proposed channels are common for manufacturing, services, and trade-based production.

“…An expressive number of countries have created programs to support entrepreneurship in their territories (Barba-Sánchez & Atienza-Sahuquillo, 2012;Ghani et al, 2014;Halabí & Lussier, 2014;Mayer-Haug et al, 2013;Obaji & Olugu, 2014;Pickernell et al, 2013;Poschke, 2013;Román et al, 2013;Slonimczyk & Gimpelson, 2015) in order to tackle informality (Castro et al, 2014;Centeno & Portes, 2006;Hu, 2014;Kus, 2014;Nguyen et al, 2014;Webb et al, 2014). Those are initiatives that, in most part, present the double target of, on one hand stimulate the development of new enterprises and, on the other, support the transition from informality to formality.…”

“…In this context, education has a role of great importance in the development of entrepreneur spirit amongst individuals (Barba-Sánchez & Atienza-Sahuquillo, 2012; Ghani et al, 2014;Mayer-Haug et al, 2013). It is necessary to include entrepreneurship training early on the initial levels of education (Barba-Sánchez & Atienza-Sahuquillo, 2012).…”

Formulação e implementação, convergências e desvios: facetas da política pública do MicroEmpreendedor Individual (MEI) no plano local

et al. 2017

Resumo: As políticas públicas de apoio a empreendimentos de pequeno porte despontam no Brasil, a partir dos anos 2000, tendo como principais marcos o Estatuto Nacional da Microempresa e da Empresa de Pequeno. This paper addresses, as an object of study, the implementation process of the latter legal instrument in a spatiality defined by the municipality of Araraquara. The methodological strategy used was a qualitative research, outlined as a single case study of exploratory character, employing as instruments for data collection: both documental research as well as interviews with structured scripts. Results have shown that the dynamic imposed by the implementation of the law can be characterized by fragile inter-organizational ties and relations based on the maximization of individual interests, to the detriment of collective interests, which ought to be pursued by public policies. It was verified, on the analysis of the direct and indirect impacts and results, that the local government was not ready for the execution of the policy designed on the federal level. The agents in local level proceed in a manner to fragment the formalization into small bits, in which each one of them acts on its own environment, without interaction or complementation; as a consequence, the formalization process is carried out following a hierarchical order, which results in a segmented and fragmented implementation.

Does connectivity reduce gender gaps in off‐farm employment? Evidence from 12 low‐ and middle‐income countries

Gender gaps in labor force participation in developing countries persist despite income growth or structural change. We assess this persistence across economic geographies within countries, focusing on youth employment in off‐farm wage jobs. We combine household survey data from 12 developing countries with geospatial data on population density. The gender gap increases with connectivity from rural to peri‐urban areas and disappears in high‐density urban areas. In non‐rural areas, child dependency does not constrain young women, and secondary education improves their access to off‐farm jobs. The gender gap persists for married young women independent of connectivity improvements, indicating social norm constraints.
