A useful addition to research on female entrepreneurship, this paper classifies drivers of entrepreneurship into four dimensions – choices and preferences, endowments, external constraints, and internal constraints – with different policy prescriptions for each category. The authors also focus on non-economic outcomes, noting that “coaxing women to pursue higher risk, higher growth, higher stress or more time-demanding than they prefer may result in lower well-being.”A useful addition to research on female entrepreneurship, this paper classifies drivers of entrepreneurship into four dimensions – choices and preferences, endowments, external constraints, and internal constraints – with different policy prescriptions for each category.
