Politico–Economic Factors Associated with Interest in Starting a Business: A Multi–Country Study

Begley, Thomas M., Tan, Wee-Liang, Schoch, Herbert·2005·Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice

Abstract

In this article, we study the constructs of perceived environmental munificence and carrying capacity as they relate to potential for starting a business in samples taken from thirteen Anglo–Saxon, East Asian, and South Asian countries. Seven politico–economic dimensions represent perceived munificence and carrying capacity: financing available, supportive government regulation, market opportunities, access to support services, supply of skilled labor, connections needed, and competitive conditions. Perceived market opportunities, supply of skilled labor, and supportive government regulation (negatively) relate most consistently to start–up feasibility and desirability in the full sample. In regional subsamples, the only dimensions to associate with both feasibility and desirability are market opportunities in Anglo–Saxon countries and supply of skilled labor in South Asia.

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.
