Towards a general theory of entrepreneurship. - 151 p.

Adviser: Dimitrios Diamantaras.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Temple University, 2008.

This dissertation seeks to incorporate a theory of entrepreneurial behavior akin to our theory of consumer and producer behavior. It offers an analytical tool in order to begin building a micro theoretical foundation of entrepreneurial economies. It is a Robinson Crusoe type model where minimal assumptions are made on the entrepreneur. Essentially all individuals are identical except that they differ in their venture ideas (technological improvements). Two defining features of an entrepreneurial economy as presented in this dissertation are (1) the presence of uncertainty and (2) changes in the status quo that occur regardless of whether the entrepreneur realizes success or failure. This dissertation suggests a large research agenda to systematically study economies where potential entrepreneurs are present. The first chapter develops the tool and uses it to study questions of trade and development. The second chapter uses the theoretical model to study questions about whether there is an under or over investment in entrepreneurial labor effort when the venture idea has positive externalities. The final chapter uses the model to study the effects of various forms of intellectual property mechanisms on entrepreneurial investment. A computational analysis is included in Appendix A to study the ex-post effects in terms of economic growth and income distributions of an entrepreneurial economy with many individuals. With the algorithm in place, a research agenda aimed at understanding economic development in an entrepreneurial economy can be undertaken. Beginning with the simple consumer-producer-entrepreneur economy, we can build a bottom-up approach to a more modern economy where there are more goods and firms and other institutions emerge.
