Innovative Start-Ups and the Distribution of Human Capital
This book contributes to our understanding of the reasons for the uneven geographic emergence and distribution of innovative start-ups and human capital, analyzing the role of the regional knowledge base and specifically academic knowledge. Using extensive datasets from West German regions and advanced econometric tools, it confirms a strong relationship between the presence of higher education institutions and the emergence of innovative start-ups. It also shows that the influence increases in direct relation with the innovativeness of the respective start-up, and that certain fields of knowledge are more influential than others in fostering innovative start-ups. In a second step, the multidimensional concept of quality of life is used to explain the geography of human capital across West German regions. Based on these empirical findings, the book shares valuable insights for higher education and regional development policy.

Der Begriff Entrepreneurship steht für unternehmerische Initiative, Kreativität, Innovation und das Eingehen ökonomischer Wagnisse. Er bezeichnet diejenigen Formen von Unternehmertum, die eine zentrale Triebkraft für wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Entwicklung darstellen.

Schrumpfende Regionen - dynamische Hochschulen
Politik und andere Akteure in den (vor allem ostdeutschen) Regionen stehen vor der Aufgabe, den demografischen Wandel zu gestalten. Dabei sollen sie zugleich die Voraussetzungen für „selbsttragende Entwicklungen“ und „gleichwertige Lebensverhältnisse“ schaffen – und dies unter Bedingungen bis 2020 deutlich abgesenkter Landeshaushalte. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Herausforderungen werden Optionen für die Regionalentwicklung aufgezeigt, die im Zusammenhang mit Hochschulen stehen.
Marktversagen und Wirtschaftspolitik
Prof. Dr. Michael Fritsch lehrt Volkswirtschaftslehre an der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena mit dem Schwerpunkt Innovation, Entrepreneurship und wirtschaftlicher Wandel. Wirtschaftspolitische Eingriffe werden häufig damit begründet, dass der Markt „versagt“. Das zentrale Thema dieses Buches ist die Rechtfertigung solcher Maßnahmen auf der Grundlage der mikroökonomischen Theorie. Wann ist staatliches Eingreifen aufgrund einer mangelnden Funktionsweise des Marktes erforderlich? Auf welche Weise sollte ein solcher Eingriff erfolgen? Im ersten Teil des Buches wird gezeigt, wie ein Markt funktioniert und was von einer normalen Funktionsweise eines Marktes erwartet werden kann. Gegen...

Regional Dimensions of Entrepreneurship
Regional Dimensions of Entrepreneurship reviews the theoretical arguments supporting the idea that entrepreneurial activities and entrepreneurial success are influenced by the attributes of the region where the potential founder and the real founder of a firm was or actually is located. The author explains that the regional environment is an important context variable and cannot be ignored when exploring the determinants of firm creation and of new firm growth. Regional Dimensions of Entrepreneurship consists of the theoretical foundations, empirical evidence and policy implications for the importance of regional issues. Finally, the author provides an overview of the literature on regional entrepreneurship, covering as many countries and sub-national regions as possible, with a certain focus on Western Europe and North America due in part to the particularly large quantity of empirical research on regional entrepreneurship and regionally focused entrepreneurship policies in these areas.
Global Entrepreneurship, Institutions and Incentives
This book presents some of Zoltán J. Ács’ most important contributions since the turn of the new millennium, with a particular intellectual focus on knowledge spillover entrepreneurship. It studies the evolution of global entrepreneurship and pays attention to the role of institutions and the incentives they create for economic agents who become either productive or unproductive entrepreneurs. For productive entrepreneurs, those that create wealth for themselves and for society, the author offers a knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship as a new way to help understand the entrepreneurial ecosystem. For those that create wealth only for themselves the author develops a theory of destructive entrepreneurship that undermines the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The book also presents an explanation of the role of philanthropy in reconstituting wealth to complete the circuits of capital in the theory of capitalist development. Finally, the author examines several public policy issues including immigration and technology transfer. This volume will be required reading for students and scholars of entrepreneurship, economics and public policy.
The Economics of Entrepreneurship
