Entrepreneurship as in(ter)vention : Reconsidering the conceptual politics of method in entrepreneurship studies
Special Issue: A Festschrift for Bengt Johannisson
In this article, I look into Bengt Johannisson's experiments with enactive research in the so-called Anamorphosis Project.

Identification of Causal Education Effects Using a Discontinuity in School Entry Tests : First Results from a Pilot Study
We use a credible regression discontinuity design to estimate causal education effects. Pupils in the Swiss education system had to pass a centrally organized exam that classified them into different levels of secondary school, and that ultimately determined their educational degree. A major feature of this exam was the local randomization around the classification threshold due to…

The resort to protectionism during the great recession: Which factors mattered?
A dataset of state measures implemented between November 2008 and October 2010 that discriminate against foreign commercial interests is used to estimate the determinants of the resort to protectionism by governments during the Great Recession. A well known theory of protectionism is found to be systematically at odds with one important aspect of the data: the more protectionist…

Inequality and Aggregate Savings in the Neoclassical Growth Model
Within the context of the neoclassical growth model I investigate the implications
of (initial) endowment inequality when the rich have a higher marginal savings rate than the poor. More unequal societies grow faster in the transition process, and therefore exhibit a higher speed of convergence. Furthermore, there is divergence in consumption and lifetime wealth if the rich…

Non-homothetic preferences, parallel imports and the extensive margin of international trade
We study international trade in a model where consumers have non-homothetic preferences and where household income restricts the extensive margin of consumption. In equilibrium, monopolistic producers set high (low) prices in rich (poor) countries but a threat of parallel trade restricts the scope of price discrimination between countries. The threat of parallel trade allows…

The increase of fuel extraction costs as well as of temperature will make it likely that in the medium-term future technological or political measures against global warming may be implemented. In assessments of a current climate policy the possibility of medium-term future developments like backstop technologies is largely neglected but can crucially affect its…

Recent "green" policies - contested environmental benefits and import distortions
For the Asia-Pacific region, this paper estimates the impact of "green" crisis-era measures on energy intensity of imports and the extent of discrimination of these policies against foreign suppliers. Testable predictions are derived from Eaton and Kortum (2002). The results are surprising: "Green" measures whose purpose of implementation was not driven by the…

Knowledge resources and performance : The moderating role of family involvement in strategy making
According to the RBV, knowledge resources can be sources of competitive advantage. Yet, performance also depends on how these resources are managed and leveraged in strategy processes. We investigate how the effect of knowledge resources on performance is moderated by the involvement of the owner family in both business level and corporate level strategy. We find that family…
