“…The discrepancy is probably observed because a great deal more is involved in setting up a firm than just product market regulations; excessive taxes, red tape, and poor conditions for financing matter a great deal as well. Removing such obstacles is part and parcel of the EU policy agenda already, and we encourage these efforts, with the caveat that well-justified barriers to entry can be useful to keep unproductive and destructive ventures out (Stenholm et al 2013;Darnihamedani et al 2018). While it should be easy for challengers to enter (and exit) markets, these challengers should be serious and professional.…”

“…Because higher taxes limit entrepreneurs' room to manoeuvre, they experience stronger heteronomy and dependency, in contrast with their needs and interests. Higher taxes also might threaten diminished profits and financial resources, which also conflicts with their needs and interests (Darnihamedani et al, 2018). Many entrepreneurs sense a higher subjective tax burden, such that they perceive a greater imbalance in their tax burden than other taxpayers (Kamleitner et al, 2012).…”

“…Regulations such as taxes (Darnihamedani et al , 2018; Djankov et al , 2010; Gentry and Hubbard, 2000), business rules (Van Stel et al , 2007), bankruptcy laws (Lee et al , 2011), the rule of law (Estrin et al , 2016; Goltz et al , 2015), property rights (Nyström, 2008), autonomy rights (Brieger et al , 2019) and regulations for education and financial systems (De Clercq et al , 2013) affect entrepreneurship. They also might influence the relationship between entrepreneurial activity and life satisfaction.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand how national institutional environments contribute to differences in life satisfaction between entrepreneurs and employees. Design/methodology/approach Leveraging person–environment fit and institutional theories and using a sample of more than 70,000 entrepreneurs and employees from 43 countries, the study investigates how the impact of entrepreneurial activity on life satisfaction differs in various environmental contexts. An entrepreneur’s life satisfaction arguably should increase when a high degree of compatibility or fit exists between his or her choice to be an entrepreneur and the informal and formal institutional environment. Findings The study finds that differences in life satisfaction between entrepreneurs and employees are larger in countries with high power distance, low uncertainty avoidance, extant entrepreneurship policies, low commercial profit taxes and low worker rights. Originality/value This study sheds new light on how entrepreneurial activity affects life satisfaction, contingent on the informal and formal institutions in a country that support entrepreneurship by its residents.

“…At present, numerous literatures have explored the impact of macroeconomic factors on entrepreneurship, such as economic development (Prieger et al, 2016), industry agglomeration (Brunello & Langella, 2016), public finance (Darnihamedani, Block, Hessels, & Simonyan, 2018;Islam, 2015), and institutions (Bosma, Content, Sanders, & Stam, 2018;Chowdhury, Audretsch, & Belitski, 2019). Particularly, in the age of informationization, scholars also notice the effect of informationization on entrepreneurship.…”

With the in-depth development of informatization, the role of new ventures and small and micro enterprises in economic growth has become increasingly prominent. However, rare literature systematically studies the impact of informatization on entrepreneurship. Based on the data from the 2011 China Household Finance Survey and the Report of China Informationization Development Assessment (2013), this paper uses the probit model, the multiple-choice probit model, and the Heckman two-stage model to examine the influence of informationization on entrepreneurial choices and entrepreneurial performance. The research finds the following conclusions. Firstly, informationization not only significantly improves the probability of entrepreneurship, but also facilitates the realization of income and employment effects from entrepreneurship. Secondly, information infrastructure, government informationization, and resident informationization, as informationization dimensions, can significantly increase the probability of entrepreneurship, although enterprise informationization plays an opposite role. Finally, the influence of informationization on promoting entrepreneurship varies with entrepreneurial type and entrepreneurial industry.
