TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the role of signaling ventures' technological capabilities in ICOs and found that technical white papers and high-quality source codes increase the amount raised, while patents are not associated with increased amounts of funding.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review examines 77 leading academic journals over the period 1990 to 2017 and identifies over 200 articles on entrepreneurship and poverty alleviation, focusing on three different underlying perspectives: alleviation through entrepreneurship as remediation (actions that address immediate resource concerns), reform (actions leading to substantive institutional changes), and revolution (actions changing the underlying capitalist-based assumptions of business).

TL;DR: This article defined entrepreneurial well-being as the experience of satisfaction, positive affect, infrequent negative affect, and psychological functioning in relation to developing, starting, growing, and running an entrepreneurial venture.

TL;DR: The authors examined how country-level institutional context moderates the relationship between three socio-cognitive traits (entrepreneurial self-efficacy, alertness to new business opportunities, and fear of failure) and opportunity entrepreneurship.

TL;DR: This article developed a two-stage multi-path mediation model in which psychological autonomy mediates the relationship between active engagement in entrepreneurship and well-being partially through its effect on psychological competence and relatedness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce perceived person-entrepreneurship fit to entrepreneurship and show that it moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention, and conclude that when a strong perception of fit with entrepreneurship is achieved, entrepreneurial intention is strongly predicted by entrepreneurial selfefficacy.

TL;DR: The authors developed a model of the maker movement configured around social exchange, technology resources, and knowledge creation and sharing, and highlighted opportunities for studying the conditions under which the movement might foster entrepreneurship outcomes.

TL;DR: The theoretical background and key dimensions of eudaimonic well-being are described and their relevance for entrepreneurial studies is considered, with emphasis on possible extensions to entrepreneurship.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the performance of user entrepreneurs in acquiring financial resources via crowdfunding and proposed a baseline hypothesis that claims of user entrepreneurship serve as a signal of capability and commitment to potential backers and argued that user entrepreneurs' perceived passion, product innovativeness, and need similarity with potential backers mediate the relationship between user entrepreneurship and crowdfunding performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided the first causal evidence of the physical and mental health consequences of self-employment, using German longitudinal data for the period 2002-2014 and difference-in-differences estimations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the combined effect of affiliation with prestigious universities, underwriters, and venture capitalists on the valuation of biotech ventures at IPO and their post-IPO performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss methodological advancements to enhance quantitative theory-testing entrepreneurship research and provide guidance for reviewers and editors to identify concerns in empirical work, and to guide authors in improving their analyses and research designs.

TL;DR: In this article, gender differences in the relationships of entrepreneurs' agentic and communal personality characteristics with measures of subjective well-being and new venture performance were examined, and the advantages of an agentic characteristic (creativity) for women and a communal characteristic (teamwork) for men were mediated by perceptions of person-work fit.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that a narcissistic personality can create cognitive and motivational obstacles to learning and further posit that the inhibiting effect of narcissism will be more salient when the costs of failure, especially social costs, are higher.

TL;DR: The authors developed a theoretical model that depicts the external enabler/disabler process and test the model's predictions empirically tested using annual state-level data spanning the period 1993-2015.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated prosocial motivation in the context of commercial entrepreneurship and found that the negative effect of prosocially motivated entrepreneurs' subjective well-being on their overall life satisfaction is due to increased levels of stress.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore how corporations design and run corporate accelerators and to what effect, and reveal that corporations manage accelerators via one of two distinct processes: accelerating strategic fit or accelerating venture emergence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a unified theoretical framework for analyzing the effect of micro-credit-enabled entrepreneurship on overall life satisfaction, a key manifestation of subjective well-being.

TL;DR: This article found that new product introductions help technology-based new ventures grow only when the TMT has startup experience and is not functionally diverse, and that multiple products that must be managed and brought to the marketplace smoothly and flexibly benefit from the lower coordination needs and conflicts that are typical of functionally homogeneous teams.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an empirical analysis of entrepreneurial well-being using a large-scale longitudinal household survey from the UK that tracks almost 50,000 individuals across seven waves over the period 2009-2017.

TL;DR: A disfluency-based heuristic framework for understanding the influence of low validity visual cues on equity crowdfunding platforms is proposed and it is argued that logo complexity can be interpreted by backers as a signal of venture innovativeness and can positively impact backers' funding decisions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared how future-oriented cognitive processes underpin differences in the quality of new venture ideas (NVIs) generated by respondents and found that prior knowledge of technology strengthened these effects.

TL;DR: An overview of critical validity challenges plaguing entrepreneurship research experiments is presented and a practical guide of actionable validation strategies to help experimenters navigate the above tradeoffs are developed to support the mobilization of experimental methods for advancing entrepreneurship research is developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how entrepreneurial stressors affect two important interrelated indicators of entrepreneurs' recovery and well-being, i.e., their ability to detach from work during non-work times (work-home interference) and their sleep (insomnia).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine analytical strategies for process data to examine inductively and theorize how founder teams' perceptions of uncertainty and behavioral logics develop during new venture creation processes.

TL;DR: This article showed that self-efficacy is negatively related to decision-making performance and that high selfefficacy funders tend to exhibit a "crowd bias" whereby they over-weight the opinions of the crowd, increasing the likelihood that they will fund poor quality ventures when such ventures are favored by the crowd.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether the relationship between a person's occupational status and well-being differs across countries with varying institutional contexts, and they found that job and life satisfaction of self-employed people as well as of paid employees varies considerably across countries.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the impact of institutional quality on the productivity, profitability and survival of new entrants versus those of incumbent firms in a transitional setting, and found that poor institutional quality that acts as institutional buffering for incumbents jeopardizes the Schumpeterian market selection process.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended the Pecking Order Theory by investigating the role of start-ups' strategic posture for financial decision-making, and proposed that a start-up's entrepreneurial orientation differently affects the costs and benefits associated with external debt and equity financing, and thereby its use of the respective financing forms.
