Opportunity entrepreneurship and regulation: a state-level analysis

Author

Abstract

The paper empirically tests the relationship between opportunity entrepreneurship – i.e. procyclical entrepreneurial activity associated with growth-oriented business startups – across states and the relative effect of federal regulation borne by private-sector industries within each state. With entrepreneurial data from the Kauffman Index and a new and plausibly exogenous index of the relative burden imposed by federal regulations on each state between 1998 and 2015, I find a negative and robust association between federal regulation and opportunity entrepreneurship.
