Beschreibung
This book offers a dynamic perspective on regional entrepreneurship, knowledge, innovation and economic growth, with a particular focus on the role that history and culture play. The authors provide comprehensive empirical analyses offering unique insights into the spatial patterns of long-term differences of regional self-employment, new business formation, cultures of entrepreneurship, innovation activities, and development. Policy implications from the analyses and a discussion of important avenues for future research complete this unique book combining history, culture, and entrepreneurship.
This is a superb book with an original, historical take on entrepreneurship and regional development. It is a landmark study on Germany showing that regional levels of entrepreneurship are persistent and resilient, despite many disruptive shocks.Ron Boschma, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, and Stavanger University, Norway
This book presents the distilled wisdom of two leading authorities on the link between entrepreneurship and economic prosperity at a regional level. Although its prime empirical focus is on Germany there are clear lessons for scholars and policy-makers in all high-income countries.

“Fritsch and Wyrwich have written a book with exemplar empirical studies on the role of entrepreneurship culture in the long-term evolution of regional economies. … This context provides an excellent testing ground for hypotheses about the culture–entrepreneurship–growth nexus. … These books substantially expand our scientific and practical
knowledge about entrepreneurial ecosystems, start-up communities and entrepreneurship cultures. … Good research not only provides answers but also raises new questions. These two books certainly do.” (Erik Stam,Regional Studies, Vol. 57 (4), 2023)“‘Regional Trajectories of Entrepreneurship, Knowledge, and Growth: The Role of History and Culture’ takes the reader on an empirical journey exploring how and why cultural factors related to entrepreneurship vary across regions, as well as how these variations impact upon rates of regional economic development. … the concept of ‘entrepreneurial ecosystems’ has become a fashionable and potentially enduring means of understanding the components in places, especially regions, that impact upon on entrepreneurship.” (Robert Huggins, Papers in Regional Science, Vol. 98 (3), June, 2019)
