Abstract
What factors shape an individual’s opinion on entrepreneurs? Do these factors differ across countries? This paper analyzes the relationship between socialist history and individuals’ opinion on entrepreneurs. Using a large-scale micro-level dataset from 30 European countries, we find that individuals from countries with a socialist history have a less positive opinion on entrepreneurs. This positive effect is more pronounced for individuals that are younger, better educated and have self-employed parents. Our paper makes two contributions: First, it provides empirical evidence on the determinants of individuals’ opinion on entrepreneurs. Second, it contributes to the understanding of entrepreneurship in former socialist countries.
