Entrepreneurship is an integral part of economic change and growth. Yet until recently it has been largely neglected by economists. In The Economics of Entrepreneurship, Simon C. Parker draws on theoretical insights and recent empirical findings to show how economics can contribute to our understanding of entrepreneurship. The book is based on an earlier work, The Economics of Self-employment and Entrepreneurship (Cambridge, 2004), that has quickly become an essential reference for academics researching the economics of entrepreneurship. Written in a more accessible style, this book contains much that made this earlier work so successful and, in addition, includes improved pedagogical features and new material on the theory of the firm, spin-offs, nascent entrepreneurship, growth-enhancing knowledge spillovers and social entrepreneurship. It can be used both as a reference text for academics from a variety of disciplines and as a textbook for graduate students.
Simon C. Parker is Director of the Entrepreneurship Cross-Enterprise Leadership Centre at the Richard Ivey School of Business, University of Western Ontario. He is also Research Professor at the Max Planck Institute of Economics in Germany, a fellow of the IZA Research Institute for the Study of Labour in Germany and a fellow of the Amsterdam Centre for Entrepreneurship.
