“…Becoming an entrepreneur is potentially a way to pursue such animal spirits. Relatively high levels of inequality cause societal turmoil that ultimately may lead individuals to do whatever they can to move up in the socioeconomic ladder, particularly those individuals from poorer households (Bruton et al, 2013;Laplume et al, 2014;Pathak et al, 2013aPathak et al, , 2013bPathak et al, , 2014Quadrini, 1999;Sachs, 2005Sachs, , 2003.…”

Based on a multilevel analysis of nearly 120,000 observations across 31 countries between 2001 and 2008, we provide novel insights into the moderating effects that economic inequality may have on the distinct roles that human and financial capital play on different types of entrepreneurship. As inequality increases, both forms of capital become weaker deterrents of entry into necessity entrepreneurship, whereas for opportunity entrepreneurship, only financial capital becomes a stronger predictor of entry. We also show that, regardless of inequality levels, both human and financial capital exhibit decreasing marginal returns on the likelihood of entry into necessity entrepreneurship, and that in the case of opportunity entrepreneurship, financial capital exhibits increasing marginal returns. However, inequality does impact the magnitude of marginal returns. Additionally, our statistical analysis provides quantitative support to extant literature arguing that higher levels of economic inequality foster both types of entrepreneurship albeit having a stronger impact on necessity entrepreneurship, and that human and financial capital have distinct effects on entry into necessity versus

“…Third, the large size of the sample might also be criticized, as the likelihood of finding significant relationships between variables increases with sample size. However, the use of GEM data is widespread in the academic literature today, and a number of recent studies on technology entrepreneurship are based on this dataset (Pathak, Xavier-Oliveira & Laplume, 2013;Laplume, Pathak & Xavier-Oliveira, 2014). We therefore believe that GEM data is appropriate for investigating entrepreneurship-related issues.…”

“…Therefore, the Technology entrepreneurship variable identifies entrepreneurs that enter the market with a product or service using a new or very recent technology. Recent studies based on GEM data have used this variable to identify technology entrepreneurship (Laplume, Pathak & Xavier‐Oliveira, ). The variable is based on the question asking entrepreneurs about the type of technology they use (less than one year old or more than one year old).…”

“…The variable that we are attempting to explain, Technology entrepreneurship, is a dichotomous variable that takes the value 1 if the technology or procedure that is required for a product or a service has been available for less than one year, 0 otherwise. Therefore, the Technology entrepreneurship variable identifies entrepreneurs that enter the market with a product or (Laplume, Pathak & Xavier-Oliveira, 2014). The variable is based on the question asking entrepreneurs about the type of technology they use (less than one year old or more than one year old).…”

Recent years have seen growing interest in the influence of the environment on entrepreneurship. However, little is known about the impact of the country‐level technological environment on the creation of new technology‐based firms. This study investigates the relationship between the technological environment (measured by the amount of investment in R&D, and access to information and communication technology [ICT] infrastructure) and technology entrepreneurship, in 54 countries during the years 2005 to 2010. Using data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, and the World Bank Development Indicators, we identify a significant, robust inverted U‐shaped relationship between R&D investment at country level and the likelihood of technology entrepreneurship. We also find evidence of a positive relationship between access to ICT infrastructure and the likelihood of technology entrepreneurship.
