Measures Of Science & Technology In Ecuador, Phd(C) José Luis Massón Guerra
José Luis Massón Guerra, PhD(c)
One of the structural problems in Latin-American has been the lower innovative capacity and lower generation of economically exploitable knowledge. This phenomenon has been produced by the absence of government’s incentives and strategies in order to be competitive inside the Knowledge Based Economy. More concretely, political, institutional and social factors have contributed negatively within this reality. As a consequence, the knowledge generation in this region is insufficient not only to satisfy its necessities but also to be competitive in the global context. At difference, the developing regions have recognized the significance impact of Science and Technology (S&T) and Education in …

Fostering Entrepreneurship: Developing A Risk-Taking Culture In Singapore, Balbir B. Bhasin
Fostering Entrepreneurship: Developing A Risk-Taking Culture In Singapore, Balbir B. Bhasin
WCBT Faculty Publications
About 10 years ago the Singapore Government realized that entrepreneurial spirit was lacking in its general population. These conclusions were confirmed by an empirical survey, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), an annual assessment of the national level of entrepreneurial activity. The paternalistic and authoritative approach of the government contributed to the general population's averseness to participating in risk-oriented ventures. Removing impediments to entrepreneurship is a key challenge for the government and the business sector if the island republic is to maintain its national competitiveness. This article explores the various initiatives taken by the government to stimulate risk-taking and attempts to …

The Impact Of Entrepreneurship Capital On Spanish’S Labor Productivity And Economic Growth, Phd(C) José Luis Massón Guerra
The Impact Of Entrepreneurship Capital On Spanish’S Labor Productivity And Economic Growth, Phd(C) José Luis Massón Guerra
José Luis Massón Guerra, PhD
El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la relación que existe entre el capital empresarial y la productividad laboral (renta per cápita) en España. Para tal efecto, se utilizará el modelo de impactos del capital empresarial de Audretsch y Keilbach (2004a), que explica las variaciones de la renta per cápita, a partir de la propensión sectorial para crear nuevas empresas. Esta propensión es una medida del capital empresarial que se incorpora en una función de producción Cobb–Douglas (1928) con datos de panel de 75 sectores en un período de seis años, de la misma manera que los factores capital físico, …
The Impact Of Uncertainty Intellectual Property Rights On The Market For Ideas: Evidence From Patent Grant Delays, Joshua S. Gans, David H. Hsu, Scott Stern
The Impact Of Uncertainty Intellectual Property Rights On The Market For Ideas: Evidence From Patent Grant Delays, Joshua S. Gans, David H. Hsu, Scott Stern
Joshua S Gans
This paper considers the impact of the intellectual property (IP) system on the timing of cooperation/licensing by start-up technology entrepreneurs. If the market for technology licenses is efficient, the timing of licensing is independent of whether the patent has already been granted, and productive efficiency considerations will determine license timing (which likely will be as early as possible after invention). In contrast, the need for disclosure of unprotected knowledge on the part of the inventor, asymmetric information between the licensor and potential licensees, or search costs may retard efficient technology transfer. In these cases, reductions in uncertainty surrounding the scope …
Time To Step Up: Modeling The African American Ethnivestor For Self Help Entrepreneurship In Urban America, Roger M. Groves
Time To Step Up: Modeling The African American Ethnivestor For Self Help Entrepreneurship In Urban America, Roger M. Groves
ExpressO
Almost $6 billion in taxes paid by the American people have been rather ubiquitously placed in the hands of a federal subsidy program for investors in low income communities. The subsidy is in the form of a tax credit. The program is entitled the New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) initiative. Under the program, the tax credit is used to lure investors to provide equity capital into low income areas, urban and/or rural (i.e. a new market for equity funding). According to my companion law review article (Florida Tax Review, Spring, 2007; The Florida Tax Review was ranked 1st among tax …

The De-Gentrification Of New Markets Tax Credits, Roger M. Groves
The De-Gentrification Of New Markets Tax Credits, Roger M. Groves
ExpressO
This article provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of the New Markets Tax Credits program established by Congress. The purpose of the NMTCs is to use tax credits as incentives for investors to provide equity funds into low income areas. The article reveals that over $2 billion of federal tax subsidies that have been allocated to gentrified projects for the wealthy, rather than the intended beneficiaries – low income residents in the urban core – as Congress intended. The article proposes amendments to the statute and regulations to close unintended loopholes.
Schumpeter's Creative Destruction: A Review Of The Evidence, Arthur M. Diamond Jr.
Schumpeter's Creative Destruction: A Review Of The Evidence, Arthur M. Diamond Jr.
Economics Faculty Publications
Thoughtful scholars from Adam Smith to Jared Diamond, have asked the same life-and-death question: why do some societies succeed, and others fail, in producing the goods that make life long, healthy and prosperous? Smith's answer was basically that when societies adopt the rules of market capitalism, their economies grow,:and when they do not adopt the rules of market capitalism, their economies do not. Since Smith, other economists have developed more formal models of economic growth. The classic "Solow growth model" emphasized the investment of capital. Romer's "New Growth Theory," includes knowledge as a variable. What is mainly missing from both …

What Makes A Region Entrepreneurial? A Review Of The Literature, Jill S. Taylor
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).

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.
A Measure Of Entrepreneurial Risk Preference And Optimism Using Field Experiments, Mark Schneider
A Measure Of Entrepreneurial Risk Preference And Optimism Using Field Experiments, Mark Schneider
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Previous studies have underscored the economic importance of the role of the entrepreneur, and empirical studies testing the nature of the entrepreneur are notably lacking. This study directly addresses this issue by examining newly gathered field data which captures the decision making and risk behaviors for a group of high-technology entrepreneurs. Two decision making tasks were used to elicit risk aversion measures and to test for any 'joy of winning' or judgmental errors, possibly in the form of over optimistic behavior. These elicitations were made with the use of multiple price formats and winner's curse experiments. 62 responses were collected …

Entrepreneurship And Economic Growth: The Proof Is In The Productivity, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Chihwa Kao
Entrepreneurship And Economic Growth: The Proof Is In The Productivity, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Chihwa Kao
Center for Policy Research
Popular and policy discussions have focused extensively on "entrepreneurship." While entrepreneurship is often viewed from the perspective of the individual's benefits--an increase in standard of living, flexibility in hours, and so forth--much of the policy interest derives from the presumption that entrepreneurs provide economy-wide benefits in the form of new products, lower prices, innovations, and increased productivity. How large are these effects? Using a rich panel of state-level data, we quantify the relationship between productivity growth--by state and by industry--and entrepreneurship. Specifically, we use state-of-the-art econometric techniques for panel data to determine whether variations in the birth rate and death …

Promoting Self Employment Among The Unemployed In Hungary And Poland, Christopher J. O'Leary
Promoting Self Employment Among The Unemployed In Hungary And Poland, Christopher J. O'Leary
Upjohn Institute Working Papers
To evaluate the effectiveness of self-employment assistance to the unemployed in Hungary and Poland more than 5,500 follow-up interviews were conducted in early 1997 by employees of local labor offices with persons in self-employment participant and comparison group samples. Wide ranging differences were observed between the demographic composition of self-employment samples and the general population of unemployed. Program effects were therefore computed as net impact estimates controlling for systematic sample selection using observable characteristics including information on job search assistance from the employment service. While self-employment assistance yielded a favorable set of net impact estimates in both countries, there was …

Cash Constraints And Business Start-Ups: Deutschmarks Versus Dollars, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Harvey Rosen
Center for Policy Research
In this paper we analyze microdata to explore differences in the rates at which American and German workers leave their salaried jobs to become self-employed. We document that the rate of self-employment is lower in Germany than in the U.S., and the rate of transition from wage-earning to self-employment is lower as well. We find evidence that German workers face liquidity constraints that are more severe than those of their American counterparts. Further, the difference in transition rates cannot be attributed to observable differences between German and American workers.

The New England Economic Revitalization And Future Research Priorities, James M. Howell
The New England Economic Revitalization And Future Research Priorities, James M. Howell
New England Journal of Public Policy
New England's recent economic revitalization is largely attributed to the region's success in technological innovation and adaptation. This capacity to supplant older, maturing technologies with new technologies — a willingness to continually shed the old to make room for the new — has been a characteristic of New England since the early nineteenth century. At that time, as today, the critical factors in the process of technological development were the presence of investment capital, skilled labor, entrepreneurs, and, above all, preeminent colleges and universities that foster unconventional thinking and risk-taking. While the region's economy should continue to benefit from these …

Entrepreneurship And Economic Development: A Critique Of The Theory, Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann
Political Science Faculty Publications
This thesis is a criticism of the "entrepreneurial school" of economic development, which contends that a major cause of underdevelopment in the Third World is the poor "entrepreneurial spirit" in these areas. The entrepreneurial spirit consists of certain values and behaviour which it is presumed existed in the West at the time of its development. To test the validity of this theory empirical evidence on entrepreneurs is examined; this evidence includes historical data on the West, especially the United States and France, and twenty-one area studies of entrepreneurs in the Third World. The evidence suggests that there is little difference …
