<p>The Silicon Valley entrepreneurship model has shaped academic and policy ideas but does not work for every region. In this study, we theorize that rural entrepreneurship differs from the Silicon Valley model in several ways. We predict entrepreneurship will be lower in rural areas than in urban ones. We also expect that community factors will support rural entrepreneurship. Using USA business registration data for 2768 counties from 2005 to 2014, we find that rural counties have higher, not lower, business registration rates than urban counties. We also find that this difference grows as community social and human capital increase. Our study helps us understand how rural entrepreneurship differs and offers new ideas for theory and practice. </p>

摘要

The Silicon Valley entrepreneurship model has shaped academic and policy ideas but does not work for every region. In this study, we theorize that rural entrepreneurship differs from the Silicon Valley model in several ways. We predict entrepreneurship will be lower in rural areas than in urban ones. We also expect that community factors will support rural entrepreneurship. Using USA business registration data for 2768 counties from 2005 to 2014, we find that rural counties have higher, not lower, business registration rates than urban counties. We also find that this difference grows as community social and human capital increase. Our study helps us understand how rural entrepreneurship differs and offers new ideas for theory and practice.
