Incentives for Entrepreneurship and Supporting Institutions

Richard Nelson

Chapter 6 in Economic Incentives, 1986, pp 173-203 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The term “entrepreneurship” has been used in a variety of somewhat different ways. In this essay I follow Schumpeter in defining entrepreneurship relatively narrowly as the carrying out of innovation. Thus I shall use the expressions incentives for entrepreneurship, and incentives for innovation, interchangeably.
