Description
Summary:20. Freedom, growth and entrepreneurship : several sources of US evidence / Richard Vedder -- 21. The US entrepreneurship-unemployment nexus / James E. Payne
This collection of chapters comprises timely aspects of two rapidly growing bodies of academic research: entrepreneurship and economic freedom. Expert editors add to an important field of research, the economics of entrepreneurship, and explore how institutions influence entrepreneurial behavior. This book provides comprehensive and contemporary insights into the interaction between economic behavior of firms and households, economic freedom, and entrepreneurship, and how it generates an environment with greater opportunities for growth and development for individuals, households, and private-sector firms. This advanced and revolutionary book will prove to be a valuable tool for academics conducting research in entrepreneurship and/or economic freedom as well as for graduate students studying in these areas. The volume also provides insight into the measurement and value of economic freedom around the world, making it a useful resource for policymakers and practitioners
