What Makes A Region Entrepreneurial? A Review Of The Literature, Jill S. Taylor
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
In recent years, there has been a growing focus on entrepreneurship as a principal source of economic growth. Many economic development practitioners and public policymakers are taking note of this, shifting attention and resources toward activities to support entrepreneurship. This reflects a broader shift toward strategies that spur growth from within (endogenous growth) rather than seeking economic gains from the outside (exogenous growth).

The Transition From Relational To Legal Contract Enforcement, Fali Huang
The Transition From Relational To Legal Contract Enforcement, Fali Huang
Research Collection School Of Economics
This paper studies the transition of contract enforcement institutions. The prevalence of relational contracts, low legal quality, strong cultural preference for personalistic relationships, low social mobility, and highly unequal endowment form a cluster of mutually reinforcing institutions that hinder economic development. The cultural element per se does not necessarily reduce social welfare though it may slow down the legal development, while the real problem lies in endowment inequality and low social mobility. Thus a more equal distribution of resources may be the ultimate key to unravel the above interlocking institutions. These results are generally consistent with the empirical evidence.

Innovation And Entrepreneurship Indicators, Robert Sadowski
Innovation And Entrepreneurship Indicators, Robert Sadowski
All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications
This work is an update to the Regional Economic Indicators: Business and Innovation Climate report that was issued in August 2004. Although many of the same economic indicators are used in the analyses, there is a major difference between the two reports. The August 2004 release had a broad focus on the overall business climate in 36 comparable metro areas. The result was a single index—business and innovation climate. In this report, we focus almost exclusively on innovation and entrepreneurship, each with its own index.
