Abstract

PurposeThis study acts as a proof of concept to address how general, broadly applicable barriers to starting a business impact entry across various firm sizes.Design/methodology/approachThe following investigation uses barriers to entry data in Teague (2016) to explore the costs of government intervention within the United States for 2011.FindingsResults from cross sectional regression analysis of business entry rates across nine different business size classifications on a composite barrier to entry variable yield two main findings: (1) increase in barriers to entry decrease business growth for most establishment sizes and (2) increase in barriers to entry for larger firms result in positive entry rates.Originality/valueThis study is the first exploration of general, broadly applicable barriers to entry measures and entry rates. Its preliminary findings suggest that barriers to entry encourage development of larger business sizes at the possible expense of smaller businesses. This result encourages further work into the interconnectedness of government and business.

目的本研究作为一个概念证明，以解决一般的、广泛适用的创业障碍如何影响不同公司规模的进入。设计/方法/方法以下调查使用Teague(2016)的进入障碍数据来探索2011年美国政府干预的成本。研究结果对九种不同企业规模分类的企业进入率进行了横向回归分析，得出了两个主要发现:(1)进入壁垒的增加减少了大多数企业规模的业务增长;(2)较大企业进入壁垒的增加导致了正的进入率。原创性/价值本研究首次探索了一般的、广泛适用的进入壁垒措施和进入率。它的初步调查结果表明，进入壁垒鼓励了规模更大的企业的发展，而可能以牺牲小型企业为代价。这一结果鼓励进一步研究政府和企业之间的相互联系。

期刊介绍： Institutions – especially public policies – are a significant determinant of economic outcomes; entrepreneurship and enterprise development are often the channel by which public policies affect economic outcomes, and by which outcomes feed back to the policy process. The Journal of Entrepreneurship & Public Policy (JEPP) was created to encourage and disseminate quality research about these vital relationships. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of the political discourse about entrepreneurship and development policies. JEPP publishes two issues per year and welcomes: Empirically oriented academic papers and accepts a wide variety of empirical evidence. Generally, the journal considers any analysis based on real-world circumstances and conditions that can change behaviour, legislation, or outcomes, Conceptual or theoretical papers that indicate a direction for future research, or otherwise advance the field of study, A limited number of carefully and accurately executed replication studies, Book reviews. In general, JEPP seeks high-quality articles that say something interesting about the relationships among public policy and entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship and economic development, or all three areas. Scope/Coverage: Entrepreneurship, Public policy, Public policies and behaviour of economic agents, Interjurisdictional differentials and their effects, Law and entrepreneurship, New firms; startups, Microeconomic analyses of economic development, Development planning and policy, Innovation and invention: processes and incentives, Regional economic activity: growth, development, and changes, Regional development policy.
