Although they constitute a systematic and large part of new firm creation, their possibly distinct responsiveness to public policy is not yet studied. Arguing for the need to consider hybrid entrepreneurs in public policy, we analyze the introduction of one-stop shops for faster and simplified firm registration in Mexico. We find that hybrid entrepreneurs are more responsive to changes in entry regulation than full-time entrepreneurs. While both the best and least educated people respond to the reform, the effect is most pronounced for highly educated hybrid entrepreneurs.}, language = {en} } @misc{UrbigTerjesenProcheretal., author = {Urbig, Diemo and Terjesen, Siri and Procher, Vivien D. and M{\"u}hlfeld, Katrin and Witteloostuijn, Arjen van}, title = {Come on and Take a Free Ride: Contributing to Public Goods in Native and Foreign Language Settings}, series = {Academy of Management Learning \& Education}, volume = {15}, journal = {Academy of Management Learning \& Education}, number = {2}, issn = {1537-260X}, doi = {10.5465/amle.2014.0338}, pages = {268 -- 286}, abstract = {Business schools around the world must prepare their students for two realities: operating in an English-speaking business world and working in teams. As yet, there is limited understanding of how operating in a native or a foreign language impacts students' propensity to free ride in group settings. Building on general dual process theory of higher cognition and using a unique dataset of 276 Dutch business school students, we find that students are more inclined to free ride in a foreign language setting than in a native language setting. A student's conscientiousness attenuates this relationship such that this effect is stronger for students who are less conscientious, and weaker and almost absent for those who are more conscientious. After a student decides not to free ride but to positively contribute to the group, the specific level of contribution is not affected by foreign language. We discuss implications for practice, policy, theory, and future research.}, language = {en} } @misc{BoenteProcherUrbig, author = {B{\"o}nte, Werner and Procher, Vivien D. and Urbig, Diemo}, title = {Biology and Selection into Entrepreneurship—The Relevance of Prenatal Testosterone Exposure}, series = {Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice}, volume = {40}, journal = {Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice}, number = {5}, issn = {1042-2587}, doi = {10.1111/etap.12165}, pages = {1121 -- 1148}, abstract = {This study examines the relationship between prenatal testosterone exposure (PTE) and selection into entrepreneurship. We argue that the relationship between PTE and entrepreneurial intent is positive and mediated by general and domain-specific risk-taking related to financial investment and professional career. Using the second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) as noninvasive retrospective marker for PTE, we identify two-step mediation effects of PTE on entrepreneurial intent through both general and domain-specific risk-taking. To account for possible socialization-based effects, we control for gender and parental self-employment. Applying ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analyses and structural equation models, we provide empirical evidence for a biological association between 2D:4D and entrepreneurial intent.}, language = {en} }
