TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine two bibliometric approaches (i.e., co-citation analysis of references and bibliographic coupling of documents) with manual coding of documents to take stock of progress within the field, mapping out focal points as well as blind spots in the sustainable entrepreneurship research agenda.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided the first evidence of a moral hazard in signaling in an entrepreneurial finance context, by examining token offerings or Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). But, the authors did not consider the role of institutions that verify endogenous signals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how specific challenge and hindrance stressors (cognitive and emotional demands) impact entrepreneurs' well-being by influencing their ability to detach and recover from work stress.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper found that age has a weak, positive linear relationship with overall entrepreneurial success, but it does exhibit signs of a U-shaped relationship, with the relationship being negative among younger samples but positive among older samples.

TL;DR: This article examined whether entrepreneurship is a cause or solution to economic inequality in emerging economies using an institutional lens and found that entrepreneurship can increase or decrease economic inequality depending on the sector where it occurs (formal or informal), and its effect on institutions (making them more inclusive or more exclusive).

TL;DR: The authors found evidence that the informal economy's size is negatively associated with entrepreneurship productivity, and that in the presence of a large informal economy, governmental efforts to improve governance quality can be counterproductive.

TL;DR: This article found that those who survived greater hardship during the Great Chinese Famine were more likely to become entrepreneurs, especially when they were younger during the famine years, and that being younger at the time of migration increased the likelihood of becoming entrepreneurs in their new locale.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and tested an overarching model of entrepreneurial intention that includes profit, social impact, and innovation as the three main drivers of entrepreneurial behavior, and developed a holistic model to identify separately the generic intention to be a self-employed entrepreneur from the associated intention to a specific type of entrepreneur.

TL;DR: The authors argue that there exist knowable Opportunity-Ingredients (OIs) whose knowability varies across contexts and argue that these ingredients act as a distorting mirror that trivializes the unknowability of the future and nourishes impressions of mental agencies allowing entrepreneurs to know the unknowable.

TL;DR: The authors analyzed a longitudinal dataset of Twitter messages before, during, and after a business failure with a language-based method of computerized text analysis and found that the financial, social, and psychological consequences of failure are reflected in entrepreneurs' Tweets and lead to changes in their digital identities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a simulated empathy theory, which is a rational imagination process, intentional and knowledge-based, for entrepreneurship, and connect this empathy process to contemporary entrepreneurship theory, namely opportunity recognition and evaluation processes.

TL;DR: A glimpse of what a "theological turn" in entrepreneurship research might look like can be found in this article, where the authors identify obstacles to religion's inclusion and how these barriers may be overcome, and explain how the theological turn enables alternative explanations of important phenomena and stimulates research questions that build on the growing integration of religion and entrepreneurship in practice.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors place co-creation in the conceptual center of the entrepreneurship research discussion, and formalize this insight into a central proposition and derive implications of it for major themes of entrepreneurship research, entrepreneurial outcomes, and three challenges unique to entrepreneurship.

TL;DR: This article found that the frequency of change in entrepreneurs' facial expressions of emotion is positively related to the amount of money they raised, but not to happiness, anger, fear, or sadness.

TL;DR: This article explored how a social entrepreneur navigated conflicting values to address issues of gender inequality and effect social change, and found that the social entrepreneur engaged in values-related work, purposively interpreting and enacting values-laden practices to bring about a quiet transformation within the community.

TL;DR: The authors examined how potential backers form mental representations of products in reward-based crowdfunding campaigns, and how these representations affect funding decisions and campaign performance, and found that encouraging supporters to imagine the benefits of product usage is an effective means to increase support for campaigns that elicit high psychological distance.

TL;DR: In this article, the Dark Triad personality traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) were examined in relation to outcomes associated with two different stages of the entrepreneurial process: entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial performance.

TL;DR: While a positive association between both signals and VCs' venture valuations is found, the results reveal that Twitter sentiment does not correlate with actual long-term investment success, whereas patents do.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine how entrepreneurs rework the temporal commitments implicated in their venture ideas when they persevere or pivot upon confronting unexpected events, and conclude the implications of their findings for theory on entrepreneurial action.

TL;DR: The recent special issue on entrepreneurial resourcefulness as mentioned in this paper explores the theoretical underpinnings of resourcefulness, offers a definition, and provides a roadmap for future scholarship, and introduces the six articles that comprise the special issue.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a theoretical framework to test the influence of CEO attention and alertness on the rate of new product introduction (NPI) in small and medium-size enterprises.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply descriptive exploratory methods to extend their understanding about the complex dynamics of an entrepreneurial ecosystem, and they take a holistic approach to ecosystem analysis, and analyze the evolution of multiple activities (i.e., entry, exit, growth, and survival) within an entrepreneurship ecosystem and the interactions of these activities with the ecosystem actors and resource providers.

TL;DR: The authors assess the broad importance of family and community background for entrepreneurship outcomes and assess what factors drive these correlations: parental entrepreneurship, neighborhoods, shared genes and financial resources help explain these high correlations, whereas immigration status, family structure and sibling peer effects have a limited contribution.

TL;DR: In this article, a resourcefulness narrative is defined as a discursive, temporal account of past or ongoing entrepreneurial actions, whereby an entrepreneur is presented as using, assembling, or deploying resources in creative ways in order to overcome an impediment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a model linking organizational improvisation with new venture performance via serendipity, at varying levels of resource constraints and informal organizational structure, and found that improvisation is positively related to new-startup performance when informal organizational structures are high.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the career patterns of individuals with self-employment experience and their relationship to objective and subjective career success using data from the German Household Panel (SOEP).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study how globalization can differentially affect financial inclusion through the lens of micro-finance and find that country-level social globalization measure is negatively associated with the average MFI loan interest rates.

TL;DR: This article examined the combination of resource mobilization behaviors over time, and associated performance outcomes, within seven early-stage medical technology ventures in the relatively resource-scarce context of Kampala, Uganda.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored differences between cannabis users' and non-users' creativity in new venture ideation by assessing the originality and feasibility of their ideas and found that cannabis users generate new venture ideas that are more original, but less feasible, compared to nonusers.

TL;DR: In a research agenda, it is outlined how the VIA platform—the concept and its operationalization—can be employed in novel research across various streams of entrepreneurship research.
