(Un) productive entrepreneurship in a predatory state

Sameeksha Desai

Chapter 3 in Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurship and Conflict, 2024, pp 45-56 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The role of the state in determining how entrepreneurship emerges - and is allocated - is an important and often an underexamined question. This chapter lays out some themes and ideas on how the spectrum of predatory behaviour by the state can shape incentives for entrepreneurship. It discusses relationships between a predatory state and the institutional context for entrepreneurship, and in particular how productive, unproductive, and informal entrepreneurship could result under conditions of high, controlled (medium), and low state predation.
