Entrepreneurial support organizations can play an important role in nascent entrepreneurial ecosystems by enabling productive and sustainable entrepreneurship. However, in such ecosystems, entrepreneurial support organizations may struggle to access the resources they need to activate their support. Drawing upon inductive qualitative research with 31 entrepreneurial support organizations and 40 interviews in Uganda, we examine how entrepreneurial support organizations navigate challenges of resource-constraints in nascent entrepreneurial ecosystems. A conceptual model is developed, depicting (1) key challenges entrepreneurial support organizations face in resource-constrained nascent entrepreneurial ecosystems, (2) the practices they enact to navigate such challenges, and (3) the implications of these practices at the meso-level of the “entrepreneurial support ecosystem.” We find that some entrepreneurial support organizations use adaptation practices to navigate challenges in nascent entrepreneurial ecosystems, while others deploy more agentic collaboration and transformation practices. We describe the latter as “ecosystem work” defined as efforts to create, maintain, and disrupt entrepreneurial support ecosystems. Finally, our model depicts how different navigating practices may influence entrepreneurial support dynamics. We suggest that while adaptation alone may result in stagnating entrepreneurial support ecosystems, “ecosystem work” may engender flourishing entrepreneurial support ecosystems.

The reordering of transactions from “high-to-low” is a controversial bank practice thought to maximize fees paid by low-income customers on overdrawn accounts. We exploit a series of class-action lawsuits that mandated that some banks cease the practice. Using alternative credit bureau data, we find that after banks cease high-to-low reordering, low-income individuals reduce payday borrowing, increase consumption, realize long-term improvements in financial health, and gain access to lower-cost loans in the traditional financial system. These findings suggest that aggressive bank practices can create demand for alternative financial services and highlight an important link between the traditional and alternative financial systems.

With this commentary, we invite urban scholars to join us in exploring the bureaucratic life of urban climate resilience. Under this heading, we call for research into the intricate and often unpredictable processes of urban governance, from the formulation of general mitigation and adaptation goals to the implementation of concrete measures on the ground. While previous research on urban governance has focused primarily on political negotiations and alliance-building beforehand and on published plans after they are passed, we propose to put emphasis on the non-linear dynamics inherent in decision-making and implementation processes within city administrations. In this context, this commentary has two objectives: (1) we provide arguments for the need to (re-)focus attention on administrative processes in urban climate resilience and (2) we present a perspective that can be used to effectively study said processes. In contrast to widely used actor-oriented perspectives, our approach draws on insights from actor–network theory and integrates human and non-human actors to be studied. We illustrate our approach through an ethnographic study in the municipality of Augsburg, Germany, which serves to uncover the multiple processes of translation inherent in building urban climate resilience and to provide insights into the ways how bureaucrats shape and mediate the future of contemporary cities.

Urban infrastructure, often lauded for its transformative potential, is a frequent component of government solutions to sustainability challenges. While urban infrastructure scholarship has long examined government strategies to advance radical change, research on inequity has largely been confined to distributive, procedural and recognition justice. In this empirical case-study analysis, I draw insights from critical urbanism and trace nearly two decades of energy infrastructure interventions in Chicago, IL. I propose a multidimensional conception of justice that goes beyond the three-tenet framework to examine the innovation-supporting strategies and justice-related outcomes that followed a catastrophic heatwave in 1995, which left 700 dead and prompted then-mayor Richard M. Daley’s promise to transform Chicago into the ‘greenest city in America’. Evidencing the reproductive power within infrastructure transformations, the Chicago case demonstrates how failure to explicitly and comprehensively address socio-environmental injustices risks reproducing, or worse strengthening, inequities.

Under the influence of rapid urbanization, urban systems are faced with many potential risks that can seriously jeopardize the sustainable development of cities. Resilience has emerged as a novel path to enhance urban sustainability. This study constructs a comprehensive urban resilience assessment framework by integrating the urban structural dimensions with the resilience attributes. It then applies the concept of panarchy, notably the process of regional derivation and its cross-scale relationships, to identify different phases in the adaptive cycle of urban resilience and make resilience policy recommendations. Nanchang City, a typical water network city in southern China, has been chosen as a case study due to its ecological and political significance. The analysis suggests that the downtown and southern suburban areas are in the exploitation phase, where the regional derivation and cross-scale interactions are stable and singular. The peripheral ecological barrier area is in the conservation phase, where the regional derivation and cross-scale relationships are complex. The study demonstrates the unique value of the concept of panarchy and its practical implications in resilience planning, notably through the rapid identification of key areas for resilience governance, predictions of resilience development trends and detailed guidance for fostering urban resilience at the local level.

New Towns (NTs) are essential habitats in metropolitan areas with many residents. However, in Asian countries, NTs have a design gap between theory and practice from the viewpoint of self-containment. This study aims to clarify the home range and visiting areas of residents who live in old-NT across generations using GPS tracking data. The areas were classified as Senboku-NT, Senboku-GB, the urban centers, and the other areas. The visiting areas were analyzed by four facility types across generations (young individuals, adults, and older adults). As a case study, this study selected Senboku-NT, which has approximately 48,000 older adults aged 60 years and above, accounting for 43.0 % of the total population. The results showed that a significantly higher number of older adults live within Senboku-NT. As a result, according to urban facility types, a significantly higher number of older adults visited healthcare and leisure facilities in Senboku-NT. This finding is important because it indicates that healthcare and leisure facilities for older adults may have begun to achieve self-containment according to the change from NTs to old NTs. Therefore, we need to redesign the living environment to accommodate the changing lifestyles of the growing number of older adults in old NTs.

Background: The diagnosis-intervention packet (DIP) payment reform, utilizing big data for patient classification and payment standardization, was initially developed and piloted in China. Guangzhou, the pilot mega-city, rolled out DIP payment reform in 2018 to regulate medical expenditures. We estimated the impacts of DIP on costs and healthcare resource utilization in Guangzhou using a nine-year panel data set of Guangzhou and other regions between 2018 and 2020.

Methods: By employing the synthetic difference-in-difference (SDID) method, we captured changes in outcome variables before and after DIP implementation in Guangzhou and non-reforming regions.

Results: DIP payment reform increased per-episode inpatient costs by CNY 1574.735 (95% CI: 148.330 to 3001.140, P < 0.05), CNY 1583.413 (95% CI: 247.356 to 2919.470, P < 0.05), and CNY 1448.065 (95% CI: -132.051 to 3028.181.140, P < 0.1) among all hospitals, public hospitals, and private hospitals, respectively. In contrast, DIP had little effect on the average length of stay (LOS) among all hospitals from 2018 to 2020. Although DIP did not impact in-hospital mortality (IHM) overall, it increased IHM by 0.330 percentage points (95% CI: 0.008 to 0.652, P < 0.05) and 0.311 percentage points (95% CI: 0.158 to 0.463, P < 0.01) among private hospitals and secondary hospitals.

Conclusions: Our results suggest that the effects of DIP payment reform were mixed. While it did increase healthcare costs, its impacts on quality and operation efficiency varied significantly across different types of hospitals.

Pressurised by commitments to climate targets and the volatility of fossil fuel prices, cities need to decarbonise their heating systems. However, promoting new ways of generating, recovering, storing and distributing heat from unconventional sources is a complex urban governance task that overarches several infrastructure domains. This article explores the governance challenges of transitioning urban heating towards increasingly hybrid systems built on other infrastructure domains and in which networks at different temperatures and scales are combined with off-grid solutions. Building on critiques of techno-solutionism and its promise of seamless fixes for sustainability issues, we focus on the governance frameworks designed to support technological solutions. We argue that urban governance innovations such as the devolution of key responsibilities, multi-infrastructure coordination or urban experimentation follow similar logics of solutionist thinking that underestimate their socioeconomic, political and spatial dimensions. Empirically, we investigate Amsterdam’s transition towards a new generation of heating infrastructures based on nexuses with urban data, electricity, water, wastewater and waste infrastructures. These purported multi-infrastructural solutions have been promoted through collaborative planning efforts, local heat visions and experiments. However, we expose key limitations of current urban governance approaches: these partially overlook conflicts of interest, local resistance and the ambivalent spatial and socioeconomic impacts of heating transitions. Equally problematic are the weak European and national regulation and limited institutionalisation of district heating, with local stakeholders relying primarily on experimentation and voluntary collaboration.

Double energy vulnerabilities in France: When residential choices lock households into patterns of energy dependence

This paper focuses on households' choice of a new home to study how patterns of energy dependence are being embedded in everyday lives in the wake of the 2022 energy crisis in Europe. It highlights inequalities in exposure to and protection from rising energy prices, both in domestic and transport energy needs.

Drawing upon conceptual work around double energy vulnerability and residential mobility and a large survey of households that moved in the South-West of France, we analyse the socioeconomic determinants of energy drivers in the choice of a new home. We elaborate a typology of households based on the importance of energy efficiency and mobility costs. The findings reveal that energy concerns, including efficiency and proximity, play a crucial role in residential decision-making. We show how life cycles are determinant in households' preoccupations with energy, but also how income, wealth and homeownership shape residential choices and strategies, determining control over energy costs. Indeed, lower-income households are more associated with a greater concern with mobility and energy efficiency, while wealthier households can offset rising costs with thermal retrofits and mitigate the financial burden of distance.

We argue for expanding double energy vulnerability approaches to considering, within a wider social spectrum, both the adaptive capacity of middle- and high-income households, and the determining role of housing costs. These results highlight the need for policies addressing both energy affordability and sustainable consumption, balancing energy retrofits with measures to control housing costs and prevent increased consumption among wealthier households.

We adopt a pluralistic view of productive entrepreneurship to examine how various elements of entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) affect both performance-based (high-growth entrepreneurship) and non-performance-based (proprietorship rate and new venture creation) outcomes. Our theoretical framework is guided by the recently developed three-step configurational approach, and our analysis employs fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) on a comprehensive sample of U.S. regional EEs. We identified five types of EEs—Bottom-Up Ecosystem, Top-Down Ecosystem, Free Enterprise Foundation, Collectivistic VC-backed Ecosystem, and Individualistic VC-backed Ecosystem—highlighting diverse ways in which local resource endowments (e.g., talent and finance) and institutional arrangements (e.g., formal institutions and culture) combine to foster different entrepreneurial outcomes. This study broadens the applicability of the EE configurational approach, moving beyond the “Silicon Valley” model to embrace a more inclusive “Main Street” perspective, addressing the call for a more nuanced understanding of entrepreneurship determinants and outcomes across different contexts.

We identified five types of EEs—Bottom-Up Ecosystem, Top-Down Ecosystem, Free Enterprise Foundation, Collectivistic VC-backed Ecosystem, and Individualistic VC-backed Ecosystem—highlighting diverse ways in which local resource endowments (e.g., talent and finance) and institutional arrangements (e.g., formal institutions and culture) combine to foster different entrepreneurial outcomes. This study broadens the applicability of the EE configurational approach, moving beyond the “Silicon Valley” model to embrace a more inclusive “Main Street” perspective, addressing the call for a more nuanced understanding of entrepreneurship determinants and outcomes across different contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":21803,"journal":{"name":"Small Business Economics","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
