  • The voids-and-development literature identifies three institution-forming strategies adopted by businesses: inducing other stakeholders to create or improve market institutions, collaborating with other stakeholders to create or improve market institutions, and internalising market institution functions.

    “The voids-and-development literature (e.g.Khanna & Palepu, 2010;Doh et al., 2017;Turker & Vural, 2017) identifies three different institution-forming strategies adopted by businesses: inducing other stakeholders to create or improve market institutions, collaborating with other stakeholders to create or improve market institutions, and internalising market institution functions.”

    The Introduction and “Firm Strategies for Addressing Institutional Voids” (page numbers unavailable) describe firms influencing governments, partnering to create standards, and internalizing functions otherwise performed by intermediaries. They do not identify these as the claimed three-part taxonomy of institution-forming strategies; the paper’s stated three options are internalizing, shaping conditions, and avoiding the environment. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • The traditional meter taxi market in Colombia and South Africa evidences features typical of institutionally void markets described in the voids-and-development literature.

    “The traditional meter taxi market in the two countries we studied evidences features typical of those described by the voids-anddevelopment literature (e.g.Mair et al., 2012;Elert & Henrekson, 2016;Doh et al., 2017).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
