Abstract

Data collected through the National Expert Survey (NES) of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) are widely used to assess the quality and impact of national entrepreneurial ecosystems. By focusing on the measurement of the National Entrepreneurship Context Index (NECI), we argue and show that the subjective nature of the responses of the national experts precludes meaningful cross-country analyses and cross-country rankings. Moreover, we show that the limited precision of the NECI severely constraints the longitudinal assessment of within-country trends. We provide recommendations for the current use of NECI data and suggestions for future NES data collections.

Abstract

Research Summary: Distinctiveness is an essential element of crafts. Building on optimal distinctiveness theory, we examine the relationship between craft‐based ventures, distinctiveness, and crowdfunding performance. Using a sample of 10,915 craft campaigns and 429,290 non‐craft campaigns, we find that craft‐based campaigns have higher distinctiveness but realize lower success through distinctiveness. Additionally, craft‐based campaigns with a higher risk index have lower distinctiveness, those with higher strategy breadth have higher distinctiveness, and those with lower cognitive complexity have higher distinctiveness. The findings have implications for crafts‐based entrepreneurs in leveraging distinctiveness and the value of lowering perceptions of distinctiveness through elements of strategic entrepreneurship—strategy breadth and cognitive complexity. Managerial Summary: Our study aids craft‐based entrepreneurs in presenting their ventures in crowdfunding contexts. We find that increasing the distinctiveness of craft‐based ventures results in lower crowdfunding campaign performance. Additionally, our results indicate that craft‐based campaigns that have higher risk have lower levels of distinctiveness. Conversely, we find that craft‐based campaigns with higher levels of strategic breadth and lower levels of cognitive complexity exhibit higher levels of distinctiveness. These findings have important implications regarding best practices related to how craft‐based entrepreneurs can best present their ventures within crowdfunding contexts. Specifically, our results indicate that craft‐based ventures can realize better crowdfunding performance via lower levels of distinctiveness within their campaigns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

46. Gendered crisis approach: Exploring the gendered impact of Iranian sanctions on nascent entrepreneurship outcomes.

Abstract

Using a gendered crisis approach, this study investigates the impact of sanctions on Iranian women's nascent entrepreneurial behaviours. Using data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor's individual-level data and sanctions intensity data on 10,781 individuals, aged 18–65 from 2008 to 2018, the findings indicate that sanctions lower the perceived opportunities to start a business for women more so than for men. Although sanctions did not influence perceived start-up skills, suggesting resilience among women amid the challenges, sanctions did reduce the fear of failure for women more so than for men. Policymakers, both in the Collective West and in Iran, can use these insights to develop gender-inclusive measures and support women's entrepreneurship in sanction-affected contexts.
