Full textEl emprendimiento social se reconoce cada vez más como un elemento crucial para el progreso de las economías y la sociedad. Por lo tanto, los académicos y los responsables políticos se han interesado por los factores que podrían determinar este fenómeno. Si bien varias disciplinas han analizado los antecedentes del emprendimiento, los enfoques institucionales han cobrado relevancia por su capacidad para brindar un marco en el que los emprendedores toman decisiones en función del contexto en el que se encuentran insertos. Esta visión teórica permite explicar las diferencias institucionales entre países. Por lo tanto, resulta que las instituciones formales e informales son útiles para comprender por qué los individuos deciden convertirse en emprendedores sociales y / o emprendedores comerciales y, al mismo tiempo, cómo estas instituciones contribuyen a la satisfacción del emprendedor social en los países en desarrollo. Por lo tanto, esta investigación explora los factores institucionales que influyen en la actividad emprendedora social en los países en desarrollo, utilizando la perspectiva de la economía institucional como marco teórico. Específicamente, la investigación estudia las tendencias en la literatura sobre emprendimiento social con énfasis en el contexto institucional; determinar la influencia del contexto institucional (formal e informal) en la actividad empresarial social y comercial en los países en desarrollo; determinar la influencia de factores socioculturales (instituciones informales) en la actividad empresarial social y comercial en países desarrollados y en desarrollo, durante y después de la crisis financiera; y analizar el papel del contexto institucional en la satisfacción de los emprendedores sociales en los países en desarrollo. La metodología utilizada es cuantitativa y se refiere principalmente a las estimaciones de diversas ecuaciones (regresiones logísticas, efectos marginales y regresión de mínimos cuadrados parciales). Por lo tanto, para la ecuación que trata sobre instituciones y emprendimiento, esta investigación empleó datos del Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) y una base primaria de emprendedores sociales en México, para medir diferentes variables de la actividad emprendedora. Los principales hallazgos de esta tesis revelan que efectivamente existe una relación que va desde el contexto institucional, incidiendo en el emprendimiento social. De esta manera, se encuentra que las instituciones informales (carrera emprendedora, modelo a seguir, impacto mediático, oportunidades percibidas, miedo al fracaso y habilidades emprendedoras) son más importantes para el emprendimiento que las formales (regulaciones, leyes y políticas gubernamentales). Asimismo, estos resultados apoyan la importancia de los factores institucionales para la actividad emprendedora social. Finalmente, esta investigación tiene implicaciones teóricas y de política pública. En cuanto al debate teórico, el estudio aporta a la literatura la aplicación de la economía institucional como marco conceptual adecuado para el análisis de los determinantes ambientales que fomentan o inhiben la actividad emprendedora social en diferentes contextos. Este estudio puede aportar evidencia empírica a la idea de que la economía institucional determina y explican factores fundamentales que condicionan la satisfacción del emprendedor social. En este sentido, se ha demostrado que el emprendimiento social se ve afectado por factores institucionales y, al mismo tiempo, influye en resultados como el desarrollo social y el crecimiento económico. Por otro lado, desde una perspectiva gerencial y política, esta investigación debe ser tomada en cuenta para el diseño de políticas de apoyo al emprendimiento social en diferentes entornos considerando la influencia de las instituciones en la creación de una empresa social.
Social entrepreneurship is increasingly recognized as a crucial element for the progress of economies and society. Therefore, scholars and policy-makers have been interested in what factors might determine this phenomenon. Although several disciplines have analyzed entrepreneurship antecedents, the institutional approaches have obtained relevance due to their capacity to provide a framework in which entrepreneurs make decisions based on the context where they are embedded. This theoretical view allows to explain the institutional differences across countries. Hence, it turns out that formal and informal institutions is useful for comprehending why individuals decide to become social entrepreneurs and/or commercial entrepreneurs, and at the same time, how these institutions contribute to social entrepreneur satisfaction in developing countries. Therefore, this investigation explores the institutional factors that influence social entrepreneurial activity across developing countries, using the institutional economics perspective as the theoretical framework. Specifically, the research study the trends in the social entrepreneurship literature with emphasis on institutional context; determining the influence of institutional context (formal and informal) on social and commercial entrepreneurial activity in developing countries; determining the influence of socio-cultural factors (informal institutions) on social and commercial entrepreneurial activity in developing and developed countries, during and after the financial crisis; and analyzing the role of institutional context on social entrepreneur satisfaction in developing countries. The methodology used is quantitative and mostly regards the estimations of various equations (logistic regressions, marginal effects and Partial least squares regression). Thus, for the equation dealing with institutions and entrepreneurship, this research employed data from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and a primary base of social entrepreneurs in Mexico, to measure different variables of entrepreneurial activity. The main findings of this thesis reveal that effectively there is a relationship that runs from the institutional context, influencing social entrepreneurship. In this way, it is found that the informal institutions (entrepreneurial career, role model, media impact, perceived opportunities, fear of failure, and entrepreneurial skills) are more important for entrepreneurship than the formal ones (regulations, laws, and government policies). Likewise, these results support the importance of institutional factors to social entrepreneurial activity. Finally, this research has theoretical and public policy implications. In terms of the theoretical debate, the study contributes to the literature by applying institutional economics as an appropriate conceptual framework for the analysis of the environmental determinants that foster or inhibit social entrepreneurial activity in different contexts. This study may provide empirical evidence for the idea that institutional economics not only those determinants that explain the desire to be a social entrepreneur, but also those fundamental factors that condition the social entrepreneur satisfaction. In this sense, social entrepreneurship is proven to be affected by institutional factors, and at the same time, to influence outcomes such as social development and economic growth. On the other hand, from a managerial and policy maker’ s perspective, this research should be taken into account for the design of policies to support social entrepreneurship in different environments by considering the influence of institutions on the creation of a social business.

Full textThis thesis provides three empirical essays on the design and evaluation of social safety nets. Chapter 1 adds to the literature on the performances of targeting methods in general and Proxy Means Testing in particular. Using a unique survey experiment conducted in Tanzania, it investigates whether and to what degree Proxy Means Testing targeting performances are biased when household consumption data are subject to non-random errors. The results indicate that Proxy Means Testing performances are quite vulnerable to non-random errors when the objective is to target absolutely poor households, but remain largely unaffected when the objective is to target a fixed share of the population. Chapter 2 studies the impact on migration of a cash-for-work program in Comoros that randomly offered poor households cash transfers in exchange for their participation in public works projects. Using first-hand data, this chapter shows that the program increased migration to Mayotte – the neighboring and richer French Island. Between 2016 and 2018, treated households received up to USD320 in cash and, as a result, were three percentage points more likely to have a household member migrating to Mayotte (a statistically significant 38 percent increase relative to the control group). This result appears to be driven by the alleviation of liquidity and risk constraints to migration. Chapter 3 explores the productive effects of cash-for-work programs in the context of the Productive Safety Net Project in Ethiopia. With more than 8 million beneficiaries, the Productive Safety Net Project is among the largest safety net programs in Africa. It is also often considered as Africa’s largest climate change adaptation program due to its focus on activities such as land improvements and soil and water conservation measures. This chapter relies on satellite and geo-referenced data to evaluate the effects of these activities and overcome the lack of household data. Difference-in-differences estimates covering whole Ethiopia over the 2000-2013 period show no evidence to support that public works had measurable impacts on agricultural productivity and resilience to climate shocks

Full textCurrently, some microfinance institutions in Bolivia are adopting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), a concept whereby sompanies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and publish the results. CSR is applied mostly by big companies in the North and in sectors more in the eye of the public, such as oil production or textile and apparel. Bolivia has been the pioneer in the commercialization of microfinance through microfinance NGO transformations. The objectives of this investigation was to asses and compare the reasons why the selected Bolivian commercial MFI's were engaged, or not engaged, in CSR. Secondly, to determine which stakeholders are more relevant for each MFI analysed, assessing how they influenced the decision to adopt or not adopt CSR and thirdly, to compare the current social performance of the selected MFI's within the framework of corporate social responsibility.
