Abstract

We study what profiles of individuals were the most likely to give up their entrepreneurial project at the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis. To do so, we run an experiment during the first lockdown in the United Kingdom. Our results show that the first months of the crisis have a sharp screening effect: 63% of prospective entrepreneurs postpone or cancel their project in May 2020. Taste for risk or competition does not characterize those who stick to their project. Instead, low opportunity costs to continue and concern for one's own interest instead of cooperation are common among entrepreneurs who persist.

创业意图和韧性:新冠肺炎封锁期间的一项实验

我们研究了在新冠肺炎危机开始时，哪些个人最有可能放弃创业项目。为此，我们在英国第一次封锁期间进行了一项实验。我们的研究结果表明，危机的前几个月具有明显的筛选效应：63%的潜在企业家在2020年5月推迟或取消了他们的项目。对风险或竞争的品味并不是那些坚持自己项目的人的特点。相反，在坚持的企业家中，低机会成本的持续经营和关心自己的利益而不是合作是很常见的。

期刊介绍： Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perfom internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve.
