I am deeply committed to the study and promotion of women’s entrepreneurship. My research consistently bridges the gap between theory and practice, aiming to provide actionable insights for nascent entrepreneurs, early-stage entrepreneurs, and policymakers. My work delves into various facets of entrepreneurship, from understanding the nuances of start-up ecosystems to exploring the dynamics of entrepreneurial action among diverse populations (primarily women).
My research is categorized into three main areas: (1) nascent entrepreneurship, (2) women’s entrepreneurship, (2) and social entrepreneurship. Figure 1 illustrates my published and working paper research program (numbers in this figure correspond to items numbered in my CV).
In these three streams, I aim to answer the following questions:
1. Nascent entrepreneurship: What are the most important factors that affect the probability of emergence over time for nascent entrepreneurs? What factors affect the prevalence of nascent entrepreneurship across economies?
2. Women’s entrepreneurship: Why do women engage in entrepreneurship? What are the unique factors that affect the prevalence of women’s entrepreneurship across economies?
3. Social entrepreneurship: Why do people engage in social entrepreneurship? What are the factors that affect the prevalence of social entrepreneurship across economies?
