“…In this vein, the resources entrepreneurs count on to launch a new business, including public policies and programs (Tosun et al, 2016), play a crucial role in the success of the entrepreneurial endeavor and further business development (Baker and Nelson, 2005; Rawhouser et al, 2017). In a sample of nascent American entrepreneurs, Gartner et al (2012) found that entrepreneurs’ personal contributions represent 57.34% of all financing used.…”

“…The small number of studies about the role of grit in entrepreneurship, though informative, have taken a strictly psychological approach to modeling entrepreneurship, controlling mainly for cognitive factors, traits, and socio-demographic characteristics but ignoring how other structural factors such as socioeconomic background and status might moderate the grit-entrepreneurship relationship. A consideration of such factors is particularly important in the context of entrepreneurship, as the resources entrepreneurs count on to launch a new business, including public policies and programs (Tosun et al, 2016), play a crucial role in the success of the entrepreneurial endeavor and further business development (Baker and Nelson, 2005; Rawhouser et al, 2017). Moreover, some preliminary evidence indicates that structural factors such as socioeconomic status might play an indirect role in the development of grit.…”

Grit as Predictor of Entrepreneurship and Self-Employment in Spain

Extending the growing literature on the role of grit in different life domains, this research explores the relationship between grit and involvement in entrepreneurship. The research highlights the role of personal income and satisfaction with one’s current financial situation as moderators of the relationship between grit and entrepreneurial behavior. Using a large representative sample of Spanish young adults and controlling for a number of potential confounding variables, we find that grit is modestly negatively related to the probability of involvement in entrepreneurship. As predicted, however, this relationship is qualified by both income and satisfaction with current financial situation, though in opposite directions and more weakly for satisfaction with financial status. Gritty individuals with higher levels of income are more prone to become entrepreneurs than gritty individuals with lower levels of income. Gritty individuals with lower levels of satisfaction with their financial situation are more likely to set up a business or become self-employed.

“…The second dimension, which aligns with the theme of this special issue, is the number of sectors covered by the ALMP policy instrument mixes. As discussed above, Bonoli () has compellingly argued that there are different types of ALMPs, which have different functions and relate to different policy sectors, which means that a certain degree of coordination is needed (see Tosun et al, ). Considering the approach recommended by the Council, we presumed that the European Commission expects the policy instruments adopted in response to the Youth Guarantee to cover as many sectors as possible.…”

“…The adoption of the Youth Guarantee must be seen against the background of the economic and financial crisis as it unfolded in the EU from 2008 onwards, leading to a dramatic surge in youth unemployment levels in some member states. The member states most affected by the crisis-induced increase in youth unemployment were the Southern European countries: France, Italy, Greece and Spain (Bartolini, Gropas, & Triandafyllidou, 2017;O'Reilly et al, 2015;Tosun, 2017;Tosun, Hörisch, & Marques, 2019).…”

The European Union’s (EU) Youth Guarantee aims to improve the labour market situation of young people. Rather than prescribing a uniform policy model, it acknowledges that supportive measures need to align with national, regional and local circumstances. It thus seeks to promote mutual policy learning through the open method of coordination. As an innovative measure, the EU has deployed funding programmes to support the domestic measures related to the Youth Guarantee. We therefore examined in this study whether this mix of recommendations and financial incentives has entailed a convergence of member state policies. Our analysis of policy outputs for the period 2007−2014 yields a mixed empirical picture. There is catching‐up convergence regarding policies’ sectoral coverage but increasing divergence concerning the number of adopted policy instruments. The first two years of financial incentives did not produce any effect on enhancing policy experimentation among less active member states. We offer an optimistic and a pessimistic interpretation of these findings.

“…private) actors in policymaking and policy implementation matters for coping with policy challenges (Brinkerhoff and Brinkerhoff, 2011;Busetti and Dente, 2018;McNutt and Pal, 2011;Pierre, 2000;Pierre and Peters, 2000;Rhodes, 2003). In particular, governance research has indicated that it is worth concentrating on networks of private and public actors when examining the delivery of public policy, especially in multilevel systems such as the European Union (EU) (see Graziano, 2011;Hartlapp and Heidbreder, 2018;Hupe, 2011;Kohler-Koch and Rittberger, 2006;Radaelli, 2008;Tosun et al, 2019a). Despite the magnitude of the existent literature in this area, we can still improve our understanding of the design and functioning of such arrangements for multi-actor implementation (Busetti and Dente, 2018) as well as of the degree of coordination between public and private actors within them (Bouckaert, 2017).…”

Varieties of public–private policy coordination: How the political economy affects multi-actor implementation

This study seeks to introduce the concept of Varieties of Capitalism to the study of multi-actor implementation arrangements. It illustrates the analytical value of this classification scheme by drawing from original empirical data and addresses two key research questions, namely how do public and private actors cooperate in delivering on public policy, and which factors determine the scope of their cooperation? To address these questions, the article examines governance arrangements adopted by individual European Union member states for implementing the Youth Guarantee. The Youth Guarantee was selected because all European Union member states must and have indeed already started to implement it, meaning it provides a broad empirical base for observing different types of public-private coordination. The findings demonstrate that a hierarchical structure in a country's political economy and prior expenditure on active labour market policies result in different governance arrangements.
