During the first two decades of the 2000s, the number of nonemployer businesses grew remarkably, far outpacing the growth in the number of employer businesses. We analyze the factors that may be driving the growth of nonemployer businesses per capita at the county level. We pay particular attention to geography, namely the rural and urban contexts and potential spatial spillovers between counties. We find that nonemployer growth is highest in places with large non-White populations as well as low incomes and home values, suggesting that nonemployer business ownership may be a form of necessity entrepreneurship that is more common in low-wealth areas. Yet, nonemployer growth is also higher in places with more small business lending, indicating the important role of capital even for very small businesses. Using a panel Spatial Durbin Model and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) to assess the importance of spatial spillovers, we find that the main results are largely robust to spatial models, but the GWR model highlights important local insights.

Entrepreneurship research faces a growing challenge: studies using advanced AI methods are trusted less than those that do not. In a survey of 172 entrepreneurship scholars, we document a substantial trust discount—AI-based studies are perceived, as a category, to be significantly less credible than those using conventional statistical methods. To explain this outcome, we adapt Akerlof’s market-for-lemons framework and introduce the concept of “social lemons”: studies devalued due to deep epistemic opacity. This stems from a double-black-box challenge: opaque AI methods are applied to uncertain, elusive entrepreneurial phenomena. Echoing dysfunctional market dynamics in Akerlof’s market-for-lemons framework, this dual opacity can create conditions whereby flawed research goes undetected, while high-quality work is crowded out. We outline a multi-stakeholder roadmap for safeguarding research credibility, offering actionable measures to help transform today’s trust discount into a future trust dividend—positioning AI as an accelerator of insight, rather than a source of doubt.

Understanding how sustainable entrepreneurs can effectively drive change is inherently tied to the institutional environment, as incentives, regulations, and social norms can either be supportive or hindering. Moreover, individual-level factors, such as beliefs, values, and perceptions, shape behaviours, especially in the sustainability domain. Using original empirical data and drawing on a mixed-methods approach that includes 205 survey responses, 7 in-depth interviews, and secondary data from Catalonia in Spain, a region known for strong sustainable initiatives and entrepreneurial vibrancy, this study analyses founders’ perceptions of institutional dimensions (normative, cultural-cognitive, and regulative) and their role in shaping sustainable entrepreneurship. Results show that both perceptions on the normative dimension, reflected in a strong sustainability culture, and on the cultural-cognitive dimension, understood as the abilities and knowledge to address sustainability issues, positively influence sustainable entrepreneurship. Results show that both perceptions of the normative dimension, reflected in a strong sustainability culture, and of the cultural-cognitive dimension, understood as the abilities and knowledge to address sustainability issues, positively influence sustainable entrepreneurship. In contrast, perceptions of the regulative dimension, measured through government support, show an unexpected negative effect, with increased government support associated with lower levels of sustainable entrepreneurship. The results underscore the need to move the sustainability debate beyond technological and regulative fixes, instead highlighting the underlying sociocultural imaginaries that drive meaningful, sustainable change. These findings could be instrumental for policymakers in re-politicising economic activity, embedding sustainability knowledge into business education, and realigning regulatory frameworks to better support sustainable entrepreneurship.

The relationship between knowledge and entrepreneurship has been extensively studied, with the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship (KSTE) providing a key theoretical framework. However, the assumption that increasing knowledge stocks and flows inevitably leads to higher levels of entrepreneurship remains contested. This study examines how the mix of science and cluster policies in Germany influences entrepreneurial activity by shaping knowledge spillovers. While science policies aim to advance research and knowledge creation, cluster policies primarily enhance knowledge flows by fostering collaboration among firms, universities, and research institutions. Following the rationale of KSTE, we test whether regions exposed to both types of policy exhibit higher levels of innovation and innovative entrepreneurship than control groups, that is, regions treated only by one or by neither policy. Contrary to KSTE predictions, our findings reveal that knowledge spillovers do not automatically result in increased innovative entrepreneurship but instead primarily fuel intrapreneurship. We thus argue that simply increasing knowledge production is insufficient to drive innovation and innovative entrepreneurship; rather, the way in which knowledge is transferred and absorbed plays a crucial role.

This paper examines the microfoundations of entrepreneurial ecosystems in rural settings through a network-theory lens. It has long been acknowledged that ecosystems promote knowledge spillovers and subsequent economic vitality, which often serves as an implicit basis for the formation of much industrial policy worldwide. Nevertheless, research into the relationship between ecosystem structures and actors has predominantly focused on densely populated centres. Furthermore, authors have only tangentially implied links between network structures and the behavioural features of ecosystems, such as the linking of overall cohesion, network density, information processing activities, cognitive attitudes, and perceptions. This has left a gap in our understanding of how individuals might navigate the inherent complexities of ecosystems and address the hurdles to obtaining resources. This is despite widely held assumptions that centralised (urban) versus peripheral (rural) actors have access to and benefit from these systems in different ways. This exploratory study contributes to this theoretical debate by merging microfoundational and network theory of innovation theoretical lenses and provides an in-depth view of the ways (periphery) rural entrepreneurs in the Northeast region of the UK perceive and engage with local ecosystem support mechanisms for innovation. It highlights numerous conceptual variables that influence knowledge accumulation for these firms and suggests further analytical approaches to understand sub-regional-level behavioural and subculture variations. Plain English Summary This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of how rural entrepreneurs navigate networks and engage with their regional ecosystem to acquire resources. While numerous authors have suggested ‘networks’ as a vital component of ecosystem functionality and performance in general, questions remain about the boundary conditions, factors leading to cohesion, and the behavioural aspects that influence the nature of networked interactions. Furthermore, there remain very few studies that focus their examination of the network variable on the rural entrepreneurial context, which renders our understanding of regional ‘network’ systems and actor behaviours inherently incomplete. By deploying microfoundational and network-theory lenses, this exploratory study aimed to gather evidence on interaction density and behavioural aspects of rural entrepreneurs within a regional ecosystem, with a specific focus on knowledge sharing and acquisition, as well as collaboration behaviours. While previous work suggests that an absence of entrepreneurial ecosystem cohesion leads to missed opportunities for firms to access critical knowledge bases and resources across various local sectors, our study extends this notion by suggesting that this geographic proximity issue does not only limit the opportunity for access to ecosystem activity but also creates heterogeneous effects on how knowledge

Mission-driven entrepreneurs can only create an impact if they are able to advance their venture beyond the gestation phase to an operating firm with regular sales. We focus on what entrepreneurs do in the process of setting up business and draw on social identity theory to acknowledge differences between venturing efforts. Specifically, we investigate in what way the strength of founders’ missionary identity affects the relationship between two types of activities in the startup process (discovery-related, exploitation-related) and firm emergence. We test our hypotheses on a longitudinal sample of 135 nascent entrepreneurs, encompassing all kinds of startup attempts. Our results suggest that discovery-related startup activities aimed at identifying, evaluating, and developing a business idea are critical for mission-driven entrepreneurs while exploitation-related activities are also important and may require greater effort. We find indications that founders with a strong missionary identity are likely to exhibit commitment escalating behavior.
