- 요약Previous research has already established the economic benefits of entrepreneurship However, the push-pull framework created a dichotomy of necessity versus opportunity entrepreneurs, so that the majority of entrepreneurial research focuses on these two particular types of entrepreneurs. Research has found necessity entrepreneurs to be the black-sheep of the entrepreneurial family with less growth potential, less revenue, and less pizzazz, especially compared to entrepreneurship's golden child, opportunity entrepreneurs. Therefore, the following focuses on three different types of necessity entrepreneurs who are all pushed into necessity entrepreneurship, but are now experiencing the emancipatory potential of entrepreneurship. Chapter 1 provides a brief introduction and covers the importance of entrepreneurship and the role that necessity entrepreneurs play in US economic growth. Chapter 2 exploits a unique data set, the North Carolina Secretary of State (NCSOS) registry of new businesses and using an Interrupted Time Series (ITS) methodology observes the spillover effect caused by the stimulus checks distributed in 2020. Instead of using these funds to provide for basic needs (i.e. food, rent, utilities, etc.), as the federal government intended, rather microentrepreneurs used this funding as microcapital to launching new ventures and becoming self-employed. Chapter 3 also exploits a novel data set by combining two proprietary datasets from the Prisoner Entrepreneurship Program (PEP) and using a Cox Proportional Hazard model to explore the impact of peer mentorship on future entrepreneurial entry by former prisoners. This chapter finds that increased exposure to peer mentorship is associated with an increased likelihood of becoming self-employed, although due to a lack of power and short control window, these results are not statistically significant. Chapter 4 employs the Current Population Survey (CPS) using an ITS methodology and finds that the drastic change in immigration policy from the Trump to the Biden Administration and the subsequent policy changes made by President Biden had a positive and statistically significant effect on immigrant entrepreneurial entry. Lastly, Chapter 5 provides a brief conclusion and summarizes main findings of each of the three main chapters.
