“…As a result, enumeration of businesses via property tax assessments may miss much of the entrepreneurial activity during early industrialization. An alternative definition focuses on occupations that were especially likely to lead to brick-and-mortar business proprietorship, including the artisanal trades, shopkeeping, high-end service trades, and independent professions (Ruef & Reinecke, 2011). The number of household heads with these entrepreneurial occupations are shown in Table 2.…”

“…Such explanations must explicitly recognize the complex interactions among various factors that may occur over time. Yet despite the increasing appeal of historically sensitive analysis, only a handful of studies of new-venture creation reflect this shift (e.g., Dobbin and Dowd, 1997;Stuart and Ding, 2006;Johnson, 2007;Ruef and Reinecke, 2011).…”

“…In the same vein, declines in federal grants to universities weakened scientists' concerns about communalism and disinterestedness and increased their acceptance of property-rights claims on scientific discoveries (Etzkowitz, 1989); this normative shift made scientists more likely to participate in new biotechnology ventures (Stuart and Ding, 2006). To give a final example, capitalist development can either increase or decrease rates of entrepreneurship, depending on whether it occurs through endogenous development or is imposed by external fiat (Ruef and Reinecke, 2011). As these examples show, attention to history can solve puzzles about entrepreneurial dynamics by revealing how interactions among multiple factors open and close different paths to entrepreneurship.…”

“…Their use, in fact, has been quite limited. The D&B records from southern states for the postbellum period are used by sociologists (for example, Ruef and Patterson (2009b) and Ruef and Reinecke (2011)) to study patterns in business classification and formation. In economics, Kim (2003) links D&B records for two counties to the nineteenth century Census of Manufactures (CoM) to study exit rates and the growth of the partnership model.…”
