Abstract

Ung Företagsamhet har i över trettio år hjälp ungdomar att utveckla sina entreprenöriella förmågor. Under ett läsår får eleverna starta, driva och avveckla ett UF-företag med stöd av lärare och rådgivare från näringslivet. Förmågan att samarbeta, lösa problem, fatta beslut och ta ansvar för sitt handlande utvecklas. Vad ger denna form av entreprenörskapsutbildning och vad händer i ett långsiktigt perspektiv med UF-företagarna?

Rapporten ger ett tydligt svar. De som drivit UF-företag under sin gymnasietid har senare i livet en starkare etablering på arbetsmarknaden, färre arbetslöshetsdagar, högre inkomst och blir oftare chefer än kontrollgruppen. Vi ser även att UF-företagande ökar sannolikheten att bli företagare och att inkomsten i dessa företag är högre än i kontrollgruppen.

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (ETP)

Abstract

Configurational research has great promise in entrepreneurship. There are few universal laws or relationships that hold under all circumstances. More often, optimal entrepreneurial outcomes are contingent on many factors. Consequently, configurational analysis using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) has become increasingly popular. However, methodological research in sociology and political science has raised concerns about possible false positive findings produced by this method. In this editorial, we explore the potential and the common pitfalls of QCA in entrepreneurship research, as well as guidelines for its use.

Abstract

Residential choices and school choices are intimately connected in school systems where school admission relies on proximity rules. In countries with universal school choice systems, however, it remains an open question whether families’ residential mobility is tied to the choice of their children’s school, and with what consequences. Using administrative data on all children approaching primary-school age in Sweden, we study to what extent families’ financial and socio-economic background affects mobility between neighbourhoods and the characteristics of schools chosen by moving families. Our findings show that families do utilise the housing market as an instrument for school choice over the year preceding their firstborn child starting school. However, while families who move do ‘climb the social ladder’ by moving to neighbourhoods with more households of higher socio-economic status, their chosen schools do not appear to be of higher academic quality compared to those their children would otherwise have attended.

Does local government corruption inhibit entrepreneurship?

Abstract

The dominant ‘sand in the wheels’ view holds that entrepreneurship is strongly inhibited by corruption. Challenging this, the ‘grease the wheels’ view maintains that corruption might increase entrepreneurship in highly regulated economies. We extend the basic predictions of these theories by examining entrepreneurs’ start-up decisions, as well as their location choices, in a seemingly low-corruption environment: Swedish municipalities. Combining a validated index of corruption perceptions in local government with population data on new entrepreneurs, nested logit models reveal that even in a low-corruption setting such as Sweden, perceptions of corruption can deter latent entrepreneurs. We also find that a minority of entrepreneurs relocate from their home municipalities to establish their start-ups elsewhere. Surprisingly and contrary to expectations, these relocating entrepreneurs often relocate from relatively low-corruption municipalities to others that are more corrupt. Implications for future research and public policy are discussed.
