Knowledge Spillover Theory of Entrepreneurship

This paper bridges the gap between the entrepreneurship and economic literature on opportunity by developing a knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship.

Results show that there is a strong relationship between knowledge spillovers and new venture creation.
