Much academic interest in the process of new firm formation has centered on the influence of so-called "push" and "pull" factors on formation activity, emphasizing their effect on the incentives for workers to enter self-employment.

In doing so, it highlights the role which capital barriers may play in limiting entry into entrepreneurial activity. Copyright 1991 by Scottish Economic Society.
