Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of cognitive skills on the cost of start-up business procedures. Recent empirical studies have identified intelligence to be instrumental to institutional arrangements. Our empirical findings suggest that higher cognitive skills lead to lower costs of start-up business procedures.
