Item type:Publication, Social problem scale, public investment and social entrepreneurship action(2022); <jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Purpose</jats:title><jats:p>Social entrepreneurs engage in action because social entrepreneurs want to solve social problems. Consequently, to see more social entrepreneurship in contexts with the most severe social problems is expected. This paper argues that this is an oversimplification of the problem-action nexus in social entrepreneurship and that action does not necessarily correspond to the observed scale of social problems. Drawing on the theoretical framing of crescive conditions, this relationship is affected by forms of public investment as institutions that distinctively promote engagement and public interest amongst social entrepreneurs. Thus, this paper assesses the relationship between varying levels of social problems and social entrepreneurship action (SEA) and how and to what extent public investment types – as more and less locally anchored crescive conditions – affect this relationship.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Design/methodology/approach</jats:title><jats:p>The hypotheses are tested with a series of random-effects regression models. The data stem from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor's (GEM) 2015 social entrepreneurship survey and Chile's 2015 National Socioeconomic Characterisation Survey (CASEN). The authors combined both data sets and cross-matched individual-level data (action and investment) with commune-level data (social problem scale) resulting in unique contextualised observations for 1,124 social entrepreneurs.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Findings</jats:title><jats:p>Contrary to current understanding, this study finds that SEA is positively associated with low-social problem scale. This means that high levels of deprivation do not immediately lead to action. The study also finds that locally anchored forms of investment positively moderate this relationship, stimulating action in the most deprived contexts. On the contrary, centralised public investment leads to increased social entrepreneurial action in wealthier communities where it is arguably less needed.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Originality/value</jats:title><jats:p>The findings contribute to the literature on SEA in deprived contexts, social and public investment as well as policy-level discussion and broader issues of entrepreneurship and social problems.</jats:p></jats:sec>21Scopus© Citations 15 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Innovative entrepreneurial activity in five Latin America countries and the effect of external environmental shocks(Emerald, 2026-03-24); <jats:sec> <jats:title>Purpose</jats:title> <jats:p>Through human capital theory and the external enablers (EE) framework, this study investigates the dynamics of innovative entrepreneurial activity (IEA) among nascent entrepreneurs in Latin America (LA) and how the mechanisms of an external environmental shock, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, reshaped these dynamics.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Design/methodology/approach</jats:title> <jats:p>We use data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor of five representative Latin America countries covering the period from 2019 to 2022 and a logistical regression with robust standard error to test all our hypotheses.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Findings</jats:title> <jats:p>We empirically found that the COVID-19 pandemic acted as an EE for the enhancement of outcomes toward more innovative entrepreneurial activity. Additionally, the pandemic reduced the education gap, maintained the entrepreneurial experience gap and caused a gap between entrepreneurs with an alertness to perceive business opportunities and the innovative entrepreneurial activity in LA.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Originality/value</jats:title> <jats:p>We discuss the theoretical contributions that focus on the relationships between EEs and innovative entrepreneurial activity in LA countries and their practical implications, centering on how entrepreneurs, along with public and private actors, can meet the challenges of the new normal caused by an external shock. This study represents the first attempt to empirically analyze the impact of the pandemic before, during and in the “new normality”, with focus in IEA within the LA context.</jats:p> </jats:sec>2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Are migrants in/from emerging economies more entrepreneurial than natives?(2021); ; ; Veronica Arriagada<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The academic debate in migrant entrepreneurship has mainly focused on movements from emerging economies into developed economies. Anecdotal evidence has suggested that the highest impact is generated by migrants in/from emerging economies. To extend this academic discussion in the Latin-American context, this study investigates why migrants are more entrepreneurial than natives. By adopting the human capital and the institutional approach, we theorize that individual and environmental conditions produce selection/discrimination effects in the host labour market. Consequently, these effects influence migrants’ decision to become entrepreneurs. We tested our hypotheses using a sample of 13,368 adults between the ages of 18–64 based across the 16 Chilean regions. Our results showed that being a high-skilled migrant in a dynamic emerging economy is not a guarantee of success in the labour market, but it is a determinant of international and necessity-driven entrepreneurship. Several implications and a provocative discussion emerged from these findings.</jats:p>3Scopus© Citations 30 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
