“…A likely explanation is that COVID-19 may have induced a risk-adverse attitude inducing enterprises to channel such funding into densely populated regions with abundant relevant infrastructure, e.g., higher education institutions and other public and private enterprises involved in R&D (cf. Rypestøl and Aarstad, 2018;Aarstad and Jakobsen, 2019;Aarstad et al, 2022a). However, we are unsure whether ours is a valid explanation, and future research should aim to further explain the shift in R&D investments.…”

“…The reason is that COVID-19 may have induced a risk-averse attitude favoring R&D investments in densely populated regions with abundant relevant infrastructure, e.g., higher education institutions and other public and private enterprises involved in R&D (cf. Rypestøl and Aarstad, 2018;Aarstad and Jakobsen, 2019;Aarstad et al, 2022a). In other words, we assume that COVID-19 has propelled a Mathew effect of accumulative advantage (Merton, 1968) as densely populated regions with strong R&D milieus have further strengthened their position.…”

Norwegian data show that from 2018 to 2020, enterprises in densely populated regions increased R&D investments relative to those in sparsely populated regions, but not from 2016 to 2018. Therefore, COVID-19 likely induced the shift. The findings imply that densely populated regions have become more R&D-intensive, while sparsely populated regions have become less R&D-intensive during the pandemic. Small enterprises increased both R&D investments and employment from 2018 to 2020 relative to large enterprises and the analyses control for regression toward the mean effects. The findings were similar to those observed in the period from 2016 to 2018, which rules out COVID-19 as an explanation. Instead, the waves of data indicate a long-term trend where small enterprises increased R&D investments and employment.

The main feature of the current business reality is the speed of the changes in the environment and the uncertainty they generate. Among these changes, those which stand out for their importance are the ones related to the current digital revolution, which is changing, in a very short period of time, the companies’ business models. From this perspective, and based on panel data for the 2009–2020 period, the study seeks to examine in depth the technological and innovative factors which are related to the entrepreneurial density in euro area countries, with special emphasis on self-employed entrepreneurs. The results obtained show that greater robotization of industrial activities generates entrepreneurial opportunities, while investment in R&D by companies is negatively related to entrepreneurial activity. It is also noteworthy that public investment in R&D and the greater volume of employment in scientific-technological sectors has not been significant in the generation of entrepreneurial opportunities. These conclusions make it possible to identify economic policies to promote entrepreneurial activity, such as training and the generation of a favorable environment for digital innovation and artificial intelligence, but also the incentive for intrapreneurial activity in companies that invest in R&D.
