“…The regression coefficient of gender shows a negative sign (−0.549), indicating the probability to start up is greater for men. This result is in congruence with the findings of the previous studies (Arenius & Minniti, 2005;Linan et al 2011;Noguera et al 2013;Tsai et al 2016).…”

“…The odds ratio for this variable indicates that individuals who perceive risk are less likely to start their own business. This result coincides with the results of earlier research (Arenius and Minniti, 2005;Fernandaz et al, 2009;Noguera 2013;Ramoz-Rodriguez, 2012). The third perceptual variable confidence in one's skill and ability to create new venture has a positive and significant influence on entrepreneurial intention.…”

“…This suggests that those who perceive entrepreneurial opportunities are two times more likely to become entrepreneur those who don't perceive opportunities. This finding corroborates with the similar studies examining this relation for different settings using specific country data (Ahmad et al, 2014;Noguera et al 2013;Tsai et al 2016) and aggregate data of various countries (Arenius, and Minniti 2005;Fernandaz et al, 2009;Langowitz and Minnit 2007;Linan et al 2011;Ramos-Rodriguez, 2012). However, fear of failure has a negative influence on intention to start a business.…”

In this paper, the authors have investigated the factors that affect the decision to start a new business among Indians, using a sample of 2700 interviews of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2012 Adult Population Survey Data. Demographic and perceptual factors have been used as independent variables and Intentional Entrepreneur has been used as the dependent variable. Logistic Regression Model has been employed to measure the influence of independent variables on the dependent variables. Findings show that gender, perceived opportunities, selfefficacy (confidence in one's own ability, knowledge and skills), and risk perception are the major determining factors of new business start up in India. Policy implications of the findings have been discussed.

“…At regional levels, Mancilla and Amorós (2015) provide evidence regarding the differences of the fear of failure between women and men. Accordingly, female entrepreneurship tends to suffer greater negatives than their male counterparts (Koellinger et al, 2013;Noguera et al, 2013). In terms of entrepreneurial students, Lukes and Souhar (2015) have found that even though fear of failure deters the probability of becoming entrepreneurs, there is a lower effect of this variable compared to non-students, since the university context easily allows the perception of new opportunities.…”

AbstractThis article investigates the influence of informal and formal institutions on the university students' decision of becoming employer entrepreneurs in the context of Catalonia. A sample of 1,207 students from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya were surveyed for the period of 2012-2015, and probit regressions over pooled data were used. The main findings suggest that formal factors (university's lack of incentives to create a new business, entrepreneurial knowledge, training and skills, and entrepreneurship education) are higher correlated with the student employer entrepreneurs than informal institutions (role models, entrepreneur's social image and fear of failure). Despite that the entrepreneur's social image does not seem to have an influence on the entrepreneurial decision of university students, the other variables analysed are statistically significant, correlated with entrepreneurship as a choice. Specifically, entrepreneurship education is the most relevant variable in explaining the decision of university students becoming employer entrepreneurs. The paper contributes with policy discussions in order to extend the current debate about the role of the universities in the entrepreneurial process and also the importance of entrepreneurial universities to the society.2

The risk-seeking propensity of total early-stage entrepreneurial activities paves the way for further business-related activities as risk plunging attitude leads to the creation of innovative business models, whereas risk aversion hampers new explorations. Skill, operational social entrepreneurial activities, and family size are the crucial factors influencing the risk-seeking abilities of the total early-stage entrepreneurs in India.Entrepreneurs involved in operational social entrepreneurial activities are likely to be more risk plungers as compared to commercial entrepreneurs. The promotion of social entrepreneurship by incentivizing and equipping the youth with the requisite skills and knowledge is the need of the hour for raising the risk-seeking propensity.
