AB  - This study examines the importance of geographic location on the empirical link between internationalization and entrepreneurial intention. Integrating data from multiple sources to create a measure of internationalization intensity, this study directly contributes to the literature by revealing a significant and more complex relationship between internationalization and entrepreneurship than previously suggested in the literature. Specifically, while highly internationalized locations allow better access to resource markets they may also hinder entrepreneurship for several reasons, including the fact that these locations have higher competition for resources. Results provide direct empirical support to recent theories on the importance of within country comparative differences.

AB  - This study examines the nature and role of informal capital used by micro-firms in the dynamic emerging market of China. Using a unique source of data for 260 urban entrepreneurs, this study provides empirical evidence that entrepreneurs’ personal savings and family funding are important sources of start-up capital. However, household income is the most important funding source in driving firm growth over time. This research directly addresses the lacuna of studies on entrepreneurship in emerging economies and contributes to our understanding of the critical role informal capital plays in the Chinese entrepreneurial process. Overall findings suggest that informal capital is still predominantly used over formal capital sources for financing firm start-up, underscoring the slow transition in China from an emerging to a modern economy.
