* University of Gonbad-e Kavous, Email: m.mohamadi@ut.ac.ir JEL CLASSIFICATION: L26, J24, O17, O43 ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the factors that influence female entrepreneurship (opportunity and necessity entrepreneurship) in Iran, using institutional economics as the theoretical framework. The empirical research uses the Logit Model and the Multinomial Logit Model to analyse a dataset for Iran based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and covering the period 2011–2015. The study concludes that informal factors (fear of failing, entrepreneurial skills, and female networks) are more relevant to female entrepreneurship than formal factors (education and start-up capital). The research recommends that policymakers consider the institutional factors that affect female entrepreneurship in Iran and design support policies to foster female entrepreneurial activity.

伊朗女性创业的决定因素:一种制度方法

摘要:本文旨在以制度经济学为理论框架，分析影响伊朗女性创业(机会型创业和必要性型创业)的因素。实证研究使用Logit模型和多项Logit模型分析了2011-2015年期间基于全球创业监测(GEM)的伊朗数据集。该研究的结论是，与正式因素(教育和启动资金)相比，非正式因素(对失败的恐惧、创业技能和女性网络)与女性创业更相关。该研究建议政策制定者考虑影响伊朗女性创业的制度因素，并设计支持政策以促进女性创业活动。
