“…People are becoming increasingly concerned about the impacts of air pollution on their health and daily lives [ 53 ]. Air pollution reduces people’s willingness and frequency of travelling [ 54 ]. With easy access to air quality information through the modern information and communication technologies, individuals can easily adjust their health and healthcare-seeking behaviors in line with the level of perceived health risks of air pollution [ 55 ].…”

Background Local environmental factors are associated with health and healthcare-seeking behaviors. However, there is a paucity in the literature documenting the link between air pollution and healthcare-seeking behaviors. This study aimed to address the gap in the literature through a cross-sectional study of domestic migrants in China. Methods Data were extracted from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey (n = 10,051) and linked to the official air pollution indicators measured by particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and air quality index (AQI) in the residential municipalities (n = 310) of the study participants over the survey period. Probit regression models were established to determine the association between air pollution and refraining from visiting health facilities after adjustment for variations in the predisposing, enabling and needs factors. Thermal inversion intensity was adopted as an instrumental variable to overcome potential endogeneity. Results One unit (µg/m3) increase in monthly average PM2.5 was associated with 1.8% increase in the probability of refraining from visiting health facilities. The direction and significance of the link remained unchanged when PM2.5 was replaced by AQI or PM10. Higher probability of refraining from visiting health facilities was also associated with overwork (β = 0.066, p = 0.041) and good self-related health (β = 0.171, p = 0.006); whereas, lower probability of refraining from visiting health facilities was associated with short-distance (inter-county) migration (β=-0.085, p = 0.048), exposure to health education (β=-0.142, p < 0.001), a high sense of local belonging (β=-0.082, p = 0.018), and having hypertension/diabetes (β=-0.169, p = 0.005). Conclusion Air pollution is a significant predictor of refraining from visiting health facilities in domestic migrants in China.

“…While many developed countries have managed to limit undesirable entrepreneurial activity thanks to their highquality formal institutions, developing countries still lack the necessary governance and law enforcement (Ben Youssef et al, 2018). Despite approaching this topic at a country or even global level, an increasing number of recent studies address the topic from a city perspective (Fan & Zheng, 2020;Sodiq et al, 2019;Wang & Zheng, 2020). However, a common issue remains: policies which aim to reduce illegal economic activities and enforce anti-corruption laws mainly depend on national legislations, and the possibilities of mayors and city governments in this field are limited.…”

While research on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) has consolidated over the last decade, one question remains unanswered: how can the sustainability orientation of EE actors facilitate the intensity and growth orientation of entrepreneurship in the ecosystem? Entrepreneurship activity relies on the sustainability orientation of the ecosystem, which is lacking in most developing countries where reaching the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the most pressing concern. Using primary data on 1789 EE actors from 17 cities in East and South-East Europe and econometric analysis techniques, we investigate the relationship between the sustainability orientation of EE actors and EE outcomes. We find that this relationship is conditional on the country’s institutional quality and is consistent for a variety of EE outcomes. Practical implications for regional policymakers and entrepreneurs are developed.
