Abstract (sommario):
One of the most widely held views about American political life is that business is hostile to the welfare state. In the 1970s, David Vogel asked why American businessmen “distrusted their state.” Kim Phillips-Fein has written of the “businessmen's crusade against the New Deal.” Jane Mayer and Nancy MacLean have recounted the efforts of the Koch Brothers and their wealthy allies to remake American politics in a more conservative direction. What could be more uncontroversial than the view that American business is broadly opposed to government social policies?

Abstract (sommario):
For centuries, China has remained as a place in many Americans' shadowy dreams where fortunes and careers could be made through commerce, industry, religion, education, and adventure. American businessmen and their domestic backers appreciated China's richly endowed natural resources and its untapped market of 400 million customers, looking forward to making immense profits from business investment and commercial establishments. Since the arrival of the first American merchant ship, Empress of China, in Canton in 1784, generation after generation of American businessmen and adventurers landed in the Middle Kingdom to begin their enterprises by foreseeing a promising future for mercantile advantage. In this China drive, individual businessmen outside the U.S. government played a significant role in linking the two countries and peoples through a variety of activities. Some of them were particularly responsible for conveying their ideas, directly or indirectly, to government policy makers in Washington, exerting profound influence on the U.S. foreign policy toward East Asia. Some of them made great efforts to assist in the modernization of China by devoting their lives and resources, turning themselves into friends of China. Some of them, however, played games as adventurers seeking power and wealth in a fraudulent way and creating unexpected occasions for political confrontations and diplomatic conflicts in Sino-American relations. In all of these multi-dimensional interactions, China, a country too weak to control its own affairs in the nineteenth-century and the first half of the twentieth-century, provided a fantastic place for Americans to range freely, exercising their talents for good or evil to the fullest.

Abstract This article posits that philanthropy, most often identified with wealthy white American businessmen along the lines of Andrew Carnegie, has an alternative history whose central figures were black female liberators like Mary Ellen Pleasant, the “Mother of Civil Rights in California” who donated $30,000 to fund the Raid on Harper’s Ferry in 1859. Pleasant’s story subverts standard masculinist and implicitly white accounts of American philanthropy, envisioning underground financing by black proto-feminists as a radical tool for black emancipation in the Americas.

Abstract (sommario):
In 1892, a group of Chicago's business leaders organized the Society for the Prevention of Smoke in the hope of persuading the city's business community to install equipment to control the black smoke pouring out of downtown chimneys and smokestacks. The following article uses an examination of the Society's activities to explore the diverse roles that business interests played in pollution control in American cities during the late nineteenth century. The episode reveals a panorama of business responses to smoke pollution which ranged from voluntary smoke abatement and strong support for regulation to indifference, reluctance, and organized resistance to efforts to impose controls. The author explores reasons why business interests responded in such diverse ways. She places the spectrum of responses evident in this episode within the broader context of business involvement in pollution control in Chicago and other cities in this period. She concludes by pointing out the need for additional research to explore the complex ambiguities of the role played by business in the history of the American environment.

Abstract (sommario):
The key to success in the business world is effective communication. Nowadays we have a lot of information about what and how, when and in what kind of situation business people should say in order to successfully close negotiations, but we are even less aware of how to accompany what they say with the rest of their body, more precisely, how to use nonverbal communication in order to achieve negotiation success. In my research, I examined nonverbal behaviours that the American literature labels as dominant or submissive, comparing the perspectives of the Hungarian and North American business worlds. According to my assumptions, Hungarian businessmen value dominance signs as less dominant and submissive signs as less submissive, compared to US businessmen. 61 businessmen working in Hungary and 44 in the USA evaluated the signs of dominance and submission, using the scale of Dunbar for measuring dominance. All participants have been working at Hungarian or American multinational companies for at least three years and have been actively participating in negotiations within the company for at least one year. Comparing the answers of the two cultures, the Hungarian businessmen saw all seven dominant signs as less dominant, and they considered all three submissive behaviors less submissive. A possible explanation for this is that along Hofstede's dimensions, the two cultures differ in terms of indulgence, future orientation and uncertainty avoidance, which are all related to how important the expression of dominance is in the given culture: less in Hungary, more in the USA. In the following, I would like to use focus groups to compare the business negotiations of the two cultures, from the perspective of Hungarian businessmen.

Abstract (sommario):
The lengthy dispute about the role of big business in Hitler's Third Reich has generally portrayed business leaders either as instigators or as victims. The experience of Norton Company, an American multinational in Germany between 1933 and 1945, fits neither role. In this article, Professor Cheape demonstrates that Norton's German and American managers acted as outsiders compelled to play a part for their firm's long–run self–interest. As a result, Norton executives variously cooperated with, ignored, or violated Nazi policies, presenting a richer and more complex pattern of behavior than is usually pictured.

Abstract (sommario):
We use the archives of the American Economic Association to examine the participation of women in the association from its foundation in 1885 to the Great Depression. Women participated actively in the formation of the association, contributed several monographs to its early publications, and won some of its early essay competitions. We find that the membership drives of 1900–1902 (aimed at academics and businessmen) and of 1909–13 (aimed at lawyers, bankers, and businessmen) neglected women interested in social causes and home economics as potential members. Together with the abolition of local branches, these first two membership drives diluted the role of women in the association. In contrast, the membership drive of 1922–26 reflected a growing interest in graduate students and young instructors that somewhat increased the proportion of women among members.

Abstract (sommario):
During the 1970s, U.S.-China relations went through a major strategic transformation. To oppose their common enemy, the Soviet Union, the two countries ended hostilities which lasted for more than two decades and became Cold War allies. Many scholars have discussed this major historic turning point, however, most scholars have focused exclusively on the strategic relations between the two countries, while ignoring bilateral economic and trade relations. This paper argues that trade relations actually constituted an important aspect of American foreign policy towards China. And the development of trade relations in the 1970s was mainly promoted by American businessmen. These American businessmen not only hoped to open the Chinese market, but also consciously regarded themselves as “unofficial ambassadors”, because they believed that trade will contribute to the improvement of the relations between the two countries. By developing trade with China, the United States expected to transform China into a market-oriented economy, and eventually change the political nature of the Chinese regime.

Abstract (sommario):
Hispanic ownership of businesses has existed in Tucson prior to the Gadsden Purchase of 1854, which allowed the United States to acquire Tucson and part of Southern Arizona. Although ranching and agriculture were main sources of income for this group of pioneer settlers, they were able to diversify their wealth into other sectors of the economy. As the Hispanic population became integrated into American society, an evolution of minority identity towards business ownership occurred. Starting in the twentieth century, Mexican Americans tended to operate mostly in the service industry, such as barber shops and grocery stores. There were a few Hispanic lawyers and doctors. However, their numbers were small in compañson to the growing Mexican American and Anglo populations. The Great Depression of the 1930s affected many of these agriculturally oriented Hispanic families. By the 1940s, more Mexican Americans and Anglos were arriving to the area in search of employment. By the 1980s, a trend was evident of a service sector economy for the Tucson labor market. Most of the twenty Hispanic entrepreneurs interviewed for this study were first or second generation Tucsonans, The pioneer Hispanic families are no longer at the forefront of business opportunities. Instead, sonic of the offspring from these pioneer families have gone into other fields or enterprises in order to develop their own entrepreneurial identity. Some of the interviewees that are descendants of these "latecomers" are undecided as to whether they want their children to enter the family business. As a consequence, some of these establishments may end in the next twenty to thirty years. A cycle of continual Hispanic "latecomers" operating businesses may develop in the Tucson area. The consequence could be the lack of a solid economic base for the Hispanic business community.

Abstract (sommario):
This research analyzes the business opportunities created by the "Buy American" movement. Current literature reflects a consensus that most consumers have an initial bias in favor of purchasing domestic products. However, domestic production is frequently more costly than producing abroad. In order for domestic production to increase a firm's profit, consumer willingness to pay more for domestic products is prerequisite. This study investigates whether that prerequisite is satisfied. By collecting revealed preference data from multiple locations, this study finds that, on average, domestic products do carry a price premium over similar foreign imports.

Wright, Jnr J. W. "Discrimination, entrepreneurship, and the economics of being Arab and believing in Islam in America". Thesis, Loughborough University, 1995. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/7127.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
The author looks for measures of economic discrimination that exist against and within the Arab-American and Arab immigrant economy. However, the focus is on the economic impacts of intra-group conflicts between Muslims and Christians (and social distance from Palestinians) in the Arab-ethnic economic enclave. Results from this sample group show trends indicating that prejudice against Muslims makes them inordinately dependent on selfemployed earnings, but also that Muslims are not compensated evenly over time for taking extra entrepreneurial risks. It is also determined that significant finance-gaps exist between Muslims' and Christians' access to capital at the time of initial investment and at the point of expansion. The researcher concludes that there are both occupational and wage-related costs to being Arab and believing in Islam in America. In addition, the author finds that within the Arab-ethnic Muslim community that some segments are avoided socially or excluded from the relative enclave. This places Palestinians in the worst economic position and Syrian Christians in the best.

Hopkins, William Alvin. "Minority Business Enterprise Program's Impact on African American Businesses in Atlanta, Georgia". ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/3782.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
There was a long history of Jim Crow laws in the State of Georgia, which permeated in social, educational, and economical ways that prohibited African American business owners from competing for the state contracts. In 1982, there was a shift in state policy that implemented an outreach programs to seek out African American businesses and ensure that those interested businesses were enrolled as registered vendors for procurement. Yet little is known about the success of those outreach efforts over the last 35 years. Using Swearing and Plank's work on survival of minority business programs as a conceptual framework, this study evaluated (a) the association between the registration status (registered, non-registered, unknown) with the Georgia Minority Business Enterprise Program (GMBE Program) and gender, and (b) descriptive information about the outreach efforts of the MBE Program. Data were collected from 108 randomly selected African American small business owners in the State of Georgia through an online survey. A chi-square test revealed a significant association (p = .08) between gender and enrollment of registered vendors, with women more likely to register as vendors than were men. Descriptive data also revealed that nearly half (48% percent) of respondents had not registered with the MBE Program and were not aware of the educational and economic opportunities offered through the program. Contracts were awarded 4 times more frequently to vendors registered with the MBE Program as compared to businesses not registered. The positive social change implications of this study include recommendation to the state of the Georgia MBE Program to collaborate on outreach efforts to African American business owners to encourage economic development in minority communities and minorities-owned businesses.

Abstract (sommario):
Women-owned businesses continue to drive economic growth in the United States. However, some African American businesswomen lack strategies to obtain capital to start their business. Strategies to obtain funds for a startup is vital to African American women seeking to start and sustain their businesses. Guided by entrepreneurial theory, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore strategies African American women use to secure financial capital to start new businesses. The participants included 6 African American women business owners in Atlanta, Georgia, with successful experience in utilizing strategies to secure financial capital to start new businesses. Data were collected from semistructured interviews and company documents. Yin's 5-step analysis was used to analyze the data. The main themes were challenges of being an African American business woman, motivating factors leading to business ownership, and overcoming bank financing challenges. The implications for positive social change may include addressing the disparity of social, human, and financial capital to start new businesses among African American women.

Abstract (sommario):
Less than 30% of Black business owners successfully obtain small business loans to sustain their businesses longer than 5 years when compared to evidence that shows that more than 65% of White small business owners obtain small business loans to sustain their businesses longer than 5 years. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the experiences of 3 Black owners of small businesses who successfully obtained small business loans and maintained operations longer than 5 years in the Research Triangle Park area of North Carolina. The conceptual framework for this study was systems theory and contingency theory. The data collection process consisted of conducting face-to-face semistructured interviews with open-ended questions and a review of documents associated with the small business owners’ attempts to remain in business longer than 5 years. Data were analyzed using the modified van Kaam method, transcribing the interview recordings, and coding the data to identify relevant themes. Two primary themes emerged regarding successful strategies for obtaining small business loans: create an effective business plan, and research and prepare for the process of procuring a loan. The implications of this study for positive social change include the potential to provide Black owners of small businesses with strategies for obtaining small business loans and achieving sustainability of operations. Business success for Black owners of small businesses might contribute to the economic prosperity of the local communities.

Abstract (sommario):
This paper explores the effects of attitudes on total early-stage entrepreneurial activity (TEA). The data is obtained from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’s Adult Population Surveys (APS) on the characteristics and motivations of individuals to start new businesses. The dataset consists, e.g., of individuals’ entrepreneurial intentions, their perceived capabilities, opportunities, and risks as well as the share of female-male entrepreneurs. The time-series for 16 European and Latin American countries together with Taiwan and Iran cover the research period 2011-2019. All countries with long enough time-series data are included. The research methodology tests Random and Fixed Effects Models. The latter model becomes selected leading to a model explaining 95% (R2 ) of the variation in TEA. The results of the rather heterogeneous sample of countries show that when individuals recognize their own capabilities to start and run businesses, they also have entrepreneurial intentions, which both have great significant positive effects on the early-stage entrepreneurial activity. Interestingly, fear of failure, which may prevent individuals to start a business, had also positive effects on TEA. This suggests that fear of failure goes hand-in-hand with the willingness to start new businesses. Further, testing the predictive power of the obtained Fixed Effects Model demonstrated it highly accurate. For future research, countries may be clustered by their attitudes and entrepreneurial conditions, which were not considered in this study, when timeseries analysis may reveal different set of indicators driving entrepreneurship, e.g., in Europe and Latin America.

Abstract (sommario):
The world suffered a huge loss since the first quarter of 2020 when the COVID-19 crisis started. Most of the businesses’ activity collapsed and the economy fell dramatically down. Other businesses have been strug­gling over the past months due to the coronavirus pandemic – temporarily closing in the face of lockdowns, or keeping their doors open while drasti­cally scaling back operations. However, even in this unpleasant environ­ment, in which reined the uncertainty and many entrepreneurs had to shut down their companies, multiple businesses managed not only to survive but to flourish during the last couple of years, despite the circumstances. This paper’s objective is to analyze this tendency of some of the world’s biggest multinational corporations headquartered in different continents, namely North America, Europe and Asia. There are several sectors well represented in the process, such as e-commerce, courier, stock exchange, gambling and subscription streaming services (e.g. Amazon, AliExpress, DHL, Netflix). Such multinational corporations succeeded to be adaptable and resilient in order to stay afloat in these ever-changing times and, in this way, to increase their revenues during the pandemic, but also to expand their reach or even grow their market, getting to new customers right in the middle of the chaos gen­erated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is based on the financial results of the successful businesses – top companies in their field.

Abstract (sommario):
The question of housing in America’s growing urban centers has gravitated towards extremes in recent years: efforts at densification have sparked massive developments of multi-story apartment blocks, on the other hand the free standing single family house remains to date the unchallenged ideal of many Americans. Austin, TX is no exception to this trend: Single-family homes continue to make up by far the largest share of housing while large multifamily structures have seen a steady increase by about 40% over the last decade1. This development has led to spatial and social disparities. While multi-unit structures have accelerated the urbanization of a few neighborhoods and corridors, and cater to a transient population of young professionals, rising property values have made the “house” an increasingly unattainable dream for many middle class families. This lack of a middle ground has been aptly identified within the discourse of New Urbanism as the “Missing Middle,”2 referring to the density range between the apartment block and the single family house as much as a vanishing “middle class”. The Missing Middle promotes walkable neighborhoods with housing densities able to sustain local amenities and businesses without sacrificing essential comforts of the single family home. Gaining ground throughout planning departments across North America, the idea has increasingly come to be reflected in the rewriting of zoning codes.3. But despite the groundwork being laid, a true design discourse to give form(s) to the idea has yet to emerge. All too often, Missing Middle housing is reduced to a mere zoning problem or entangled in a retrogressive formal agenda and the desire to create a simulacrum of a pre-modern city based on pre-WWII housing types. All but absent from this discourse is the rich legacy of modernist experimental housing that explored the medium density range – often already perceived as counter model to CIAM’s pre-war doctrine of the functionalist city. Regardless of successes or failures, this discourse hinged on two crucial recognitions. First: the unit always prefigures a (possible) city, and the smallest domestic space begins to suggest attitudes towards the relationship between individuals, architecture, and the city; and second: these relationships are inherently a design problem.

A special role in the service team is attributed to the issue of subordination, and other relationships between the chief and subordinate, with these interpersonal relationships we encounter every day when we perform our work duties. In order for relations with the management to develop in the best possible way, you should carefully prepare for the first stage of acquaintance, at which the personnel review takes place. The most important issue for the Manager at this stage is the qualitative selection of personnel to ensure the cohesion and effectiveness of the team. The purpose of the work will be to review the selection methodology staff of the American businessman Harvey Mckay and analysis of the success of this approach at the present time.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract For several US communities municipal waste combustor (MWC) ash recycling has been a commercial reality for almost a decade with over 1 million tons processed and beneficially used to date. Yet, despite the successes to date a recent report by the Integrated Waste Services Association shows less than 5% of the 7.5 million tons of ash generated in the US is recycled and beneficially used [1]. The technological, scientific and myriad of commercial successes categorically demonstrate the feasibility of ash recycling. The next step is for communities, regulatory agencies, transportation departments, and customers to partner with businesses to recycle their ash stream in an economically and environmentally sound manner. An example of this “partnering for progress” is the focus of this paper. The ash recycling partnership described in this paper was presented the Pennsylvania Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence in 1999. Proving that Partnering is a win-win situation for businesses, communities and the environment.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
Family businesses represent an important percentage of the world economy in terms of global turnover and social impact by providing many jobs. The essential characteristics, such as durability over time, flexibility in periods of economic instability, and certain ethics promoted in the business, have attracted the researchers’ attention, especially from the second half of the last century. A global analysis of this economic segment is difficult, primarily due to a lack of a unitary field definition. The present study attempts to present some definitions used in the most developed economic areas of the world, such as the European Union, the United States of America, China, etc., emphasizing the local particularities but especially the common aspects, based on which it will be possible to individualize the field of family businesses, considering the process of increased globalization of the world economy. It will be analysed the effort and interest of the European Union in developing a unitary definition of family businesses, starting from the national definitions, to create unitary legislation as an essential element in achieving cohesion at the European level. The methodology included specialized literature (analyses, articles, studies) on various aspects of the field and the research of some legal, national, and European documents related to the definition of the family business concept as secondary research. The present study is part of a larger research on the field of family business, focusing on technology-based family businesses and especially on family businesses in the book publishing industry. The study is addressed to the researchers of the family business sector and their managers to find effective ways. It means making the political factor aware of the domain's importance and creating a legislative framework adapted to this type of business's specific needs for support, promotion, and development.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
For the past 21 years and counting, the Port of New Bedford has been America’s highest grossing commercial fishing port and the epicenter of the industry on the East Coast. According to one recent study, the Port generates – largely through fishing, seafood processing, and related businesses – over $11 billion in economic output and supports nearly 7,000 jobs. The Port is the primary economic engine of Southeastern Massachusetts. As a means of diversifying the region’s economic base, New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell and his Administration have worked for nearly a decade to position New Bedford to become the leader in offshore wind. New Bedford is now in a highly advantageous position to support the emergence of the American offshore wind industry. It is the closest industrial port to the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Wind Energy Areas, the largest cluster of wind energy areas on the East Coast with the acreage to support development of 14 GW of offshore wind power. As a result, the Port of New Bedford has the distinction of being the first U.S. port to host the marshalling and construction of a commercial-scale offshore wind development project. This effort requires a great deal of preparation, investment, and planning, much of which is well underway. The goal of the New Bedford Port Authority is to promote development that allows both commercial fishing and offshore wind industries to thrive. This paper discusses the various public and private infrastructure investments in the Port. These investments are creating new bulkhead and terminal space as well as rehabilitating derelict waterfront properties. Because New Bedford Harbor is a Superfund site, most of these infrastructure developments are permitted through the State Enhanced Remedy (SER) process. This process enables projects that meet specific criteria through the Record of Decision to be permitted within weeks rather than months. Several public and private projects permitted through the SER process are, by necessity, interdependent..

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
This article discusses the potential of microfranchises as an inclusive, scalable, and sustainable business model to help vulnerable groups, such as women, ex-combatants, and indigenous people, overcome poverty and unemployment in Latin America. The authors argue that social entrepreneurship, which focuses on creating social value rather than profit, can play a meaningful role in incorporating the social component of assisting and empowering the poor. However, external and internal barriers to the scalability of business models still remain challenging. The authors suggest that more initiatives should value the bottom of the pyramid (BOP) as entrepreneurs and co-inventors, adapting to each country's conditions while generating economic, social, and environmental benefits. The paper examines microfranchises for vulnerable groups in Latin America and how microfranchises can scale to provide a higher impact on society. The authors argue that microfranchising is aligned with BOP 2.0 and 3.0, which focuses on the co-creation of products and services and the entrepreneurial activity of businesses in the BOP. The article highlights the importance of context in the adaptability of entrepreneurs in BOP 3.0 and the positive correlation between the spatial distribution of the microfranchising and the growth of its network of interest groups in the BOP 3.0.

Abstract (sommario):
The East Asian crisis is not all bad news for the United States and Canada (North America). Net debtors in North America – be they individual families refinancing their mortgages, businesses financing their expansion, or the U.S. government financing its debt – should benefit from the crisis, as it continues to put downward pressure on interest rates. While the crisis hurts North American farm exports, it presents opportunities for expansion in North American exports of processed foods. The study estimates that the benefits accruing to North American food producers far outweigh the losses to farmers in the region over the long term.

Abstract (sommario):
The relationship between firms and inequality has been a focus of recent attention globally. This chapter summarizes basic facts about this relationship for Latin America. Unlike advanced economies where superstar firm growth has prompted concerns over disproportionate income growth at the top, the facts we summarize illustrate that the main concern for Latin America is the extreme prevalence of tiny businesses whose workers and owners tend to populate the bottom income segments. The empirical likelihood that these businesses improve their productivity and grow to hire more workers and pay better wages is also very low. The region displays a deficit of employment generation in SMEs, by contrast to both microbusinesses (including self-employment) and large corporations. While the former tend to remunerate both workers and owners with very low incomes, the latter pay high wages but also exhibit low labor shares.

Strambo, Claudia, Patricio Calles Almeida e Elisa Arond. Energy transition ambitions of four national oil and gas companies in South America. Stockholm Environment Institute, novembre 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.51414/sei2023.059.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
This report explores what (if any) diversification strategies national oil and gas companies (NOGCs) are employing to engage in an energy transition, with a focus on four South American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador.The authors identify how four South American NOGCs are preparing to transform in the face of climate change and the energy transition. They do so by looking at these companies’ publicly stated ambitions regarding diversification: they focus in particular on whether and how these companies are leaving fossil fuels behind, as a sign of transforming their core business and moving towards a more structural transformation overall in society. The four South American NOGCs are Ecopetrol (Colombia), Petrobras (Brazil), Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales (YPF, Argentina) and EP Petroecuador (Ecuador). While all four companies are controlled by their national governments, three are also public companies that are traded on domestic and international stock markets. This report can serve as a resource for comparative analysis and to inform transition strategies in oil and gas–producing countries, for energy and finance researchers, professionals working within NOGCs, and policymakers shaping NOGCs’ missions, strategies and investments. Key messages National oil and gas companies, or NOGCs, must transform to survive and fit into a new global dynamic for mitigating the impacts of climate change. While navigating their roles in generating public revenue and domestic employment, enabling public services, and other characteristics, they will also have to overcome institutional barriers in order to accelerate their diversification into non-fossil fuel businesses. Diversification to new low-carbon businesses is a part of but not the priority for decarbonization for four of South America’s NOGCs. These four South American NOGCs have limited capacity to expand into new low-carbon businesses. More research is needed to assess and strengthen South American NOGCs’ preparedness for a transition to a low-carbon future, including factors such as financial, technical and managerial capabilities, and their role in national and global political economies.

Abstract (sommario):
This technical note uses data from a new survey that collected information on entrepreneurs and their businesses in nine Latin American countries, with the objective of determining the relevant characteristics that define the different types of Latin American entrepreneurs. In particular, it analyzes personality traits and socio-demographic attributes. The results show that different types of entrepreneurs are associated with different personality traits and socio-demographic characteristics. The typical Latin American entrepreneur-employer has the following measured characteristics considered "above the mean": male, history of parent-entrepreneurs, financial access, and some specific personality traits (i.e., achievement-oriented, multitaskers, show a high tolerance for risk, and the need for autonomy). Potential entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals have some different characteristics. When countries are analyzed separately, heterogeneities are found, showing indirect evidence of the relevance of political-institutional, sociocultural, and other environment-related factors as determinants of entrepreneurship.

Abstract (sommario):
It has been established that access to profitable markets is a key factor which determines the long-term success for all businesses. For small and microenterprises, however, various constraints limit this access, such as inadequate technology, geographic isolation, lack of raw materials and inefficient production. By providing ways to overcome these constraints, marketing service providers play an essential role in developing the businesses of small and micro producers. Based on three case studies of marketing service providers -from Colombia, Nicaragua and El Salvador- dealing with handicrafts, nontraditional agricultural products, and household goods, this study focuses on the possibility for short and long-term sustainability of marketing services. The study discusses the impact ancillary services have on the ability for partial or full cost-recovery and for institutional sustainability, and the business strategies adopted by each marketing service provider.

Abstract (sommario):
Cities are important drivers of productivity, innovation, and economic growth. To achieve their full economic potential, cities must deliver high-quality public services to their residents and businesses. This is very important for Latin American cities given rapid urbanization and the deepening of decentralization reforms in many countries. The extent to which they can carry out all of these responsibilities depends at least partially on their fiscal health, ability to meet their service, infrastructure, and financial obligations with the revenue available to them. This study assesses the fiscal health of 80 main cities in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, from 2010 to 2017, and explores the factors that drive it. A primary purpose is to provide a methodology for cities to assess their own fiscal health, given available data. As such, it helps to determine whether fiscal distress is building up in selected large cities across the region and to understand whether and how financial solvency, public service delivery, and the maintenance and expansion of urban infrastructure may be compromised.

Abstract (sommario):
Doing Business North America 2022 Report is a study that provides objective measures of business regulations in the United States of America. This years’ edition covers 83 cities in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. The largest city from each state is included and, in the case of especially large U.S. states, up to five cities have been included. There are six categories in which the cities were scored and ranked: “Starting a Business,” “Employing Workers,” “Getting Electricity,” “Paying Taxes,” “Land and Space Use,” and “Resolving Insolvency.” Comprised of over 7,700 datapoints, it uses 93 variables to create 30 data indicators to score and rank cities about how easy it is to set up, operate, and shut down a business. The Ease of Doing Business Score is derived from a summation of the scores awarded in each of the six categories measured. The score and ranks included are an overall measure of the ease of doing business for small-and-medium-sized businesses in each city.
