Abstract

Prior research predominantly focuses on institutional drivers of different levels of entrepreneurship across countries instead of specific types of entrepreneurship that can create considerable economic impact. In contrast, we investigate which formal institutions (i.e., government integrity, regulatory efficiency, and trade freedom) affect ambitious entrepreneurship (AE). Ambitious entrepreneurs are both opportunity-driven and innovative. Moreover, we introduce economic development as a boundary condition of these relationships. Using a multi-level research design and analyzing data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) with 2,121,002 individuals from 101 countries, we find that regulatory efficiency and trade freedom positively affect AE. Surprisingly, government integrity negatively impacts AE, but higher economic development mitigates this negative relationship. Our study informs the discussion on the nexus between comparative international entrepreneurship, institutions, and economic development.

对正规机构与雄心勃勃的创业精神之间关系的多层次分析：经济发展的调节作用

以往的研究主要关注各国不同创业水平的制度驱动因素，而不是能产生巨大经济影响的特定创业类型。相比之下，我们研究了哪些正规制度（即政府诚信、监管效率和贸易自由）会影响雄心勃勃的创业（AE）。雄心勃勃的企业家既是机会驱动型的，也是创新型的。此外，我们还引入了经济发展作为这些关系的边界条件。我们采用多层次的研究设计，分析了来自 101 个国家 2,121,002 人的《全球创业观察》（GEM）数据，发现监管效率和贸易自由对 AE 有积极影响。令人惊讶的是，政府诚信对创业就业有负面影响，但较高的经济发展水平缓解了这种负面关系。我们的研究为有关比较国际创业、制度和经济发展之间关系的讨论提供了参考。
