ECON 263
Spring 2012 not offered
|
| Certificates: International Relations |
This class examines the role of the entrepreneur in the firm and in the evolving structure of the economy. From Cantillon to Schumpeter, from Knight to the Harvard Business School, we pursue what entrepreneurs do, their special capacities, and their personalities. Attention is also given to institutional factors and economic policy regimes that shape the structure of incentives entrepreneurs face. Equipped with these theoretical perspectives, the focus is upon the determinants of entrepreneurial activity during the critical phase of industrialization. Our empirical case studies are the United States 1870-1914 and contemporary West Africa. |
