We are pleased to announce the 2nd Seminar Series on "Governance, Institutions, and Sustainability” jointly hosted by the Centre for Political Economy and Institutional Studies and by the Birkbeck Responsible Business Centre, within the Birkbeck Business School.
In our rapidly evolving world, the intricate web connecting governance, institutions, and sustainability has become increasingly prominent. We invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners to enhance this very important debate and to join us in exploring the profound intertwining of these critical elements at our upcoming seminar series.
Abstract
This paper synthesizes twenty-five years of comparative entrepreneurship research based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) survey, highlighting key research themes and findings that have contributed to the current understanding of entrepreneurship. The paper assesses how GEM research builds upon the foundational theories of Kirzner and Schumpeter. Using STATA, Python, and the Connected Papers AI tool, the paper maps out theories, variables, and methodologies used in the most influential GEM papers, offering an overview of best practices in comparative entrepreneurship research. The study identifies existing gaps in the literature and proposes avenues for future research.
