The latest from JIBP examines the impact of intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) on entrepreneurial activities across different countries. The study concludes that IGO memberships enhance opportunities for entrepreneurship, promoting formal activities while discouraging informal ones. The work by Elizabeth M. Moore, Kristin Brandl, and Luis Alfonso Dau explores how IGOs like the World Trade Organization and the United Nations influence entrepreneurship through national institutional ecologies. By analyzing data from 68 countries, the authors found that IGOs play a significant role in shaping entrepreneurial environments. One key outcome is that IGOs tend to foster formal entrepreneurship, which can lead to more stable economic growth. Conversely, they discourage informal entrepreneurship, which often lacks regulatory oversight and can be less beneficial for long-term development. View the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/eqwdiWVS

The influence of politics on the governance of an entrepreneurial ecosystem in a developing country:

https://lnkd.in/dV8DbCfh Abstract This study introduces a novel concept of inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem that addresses the backdrops in entrepreneurial ecosystem literature. The inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem is conceptualized by combining two well-known concepts: inclusive entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Combining these two ecosystems enables us to comprehend the interaction between marginalized communities and factors which incorporates both individual and social aspects. Four principles comprise the inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem: inclusive governance and resources, inclusive policies, inclusive culture, and inclusive markets. This study proposes a conceptual framework and develops an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem index for each of the four categories by using multisided platforms of world reputed databases to better understand and empirically investigate the inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem in the future.

Research takes a while, but it is worth it. A paper originally motivated by an invitation for a book chapter suddenly becomes a profound discussion on the Foundations of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems Configurations.
