Do entrepreneurial resources drive startup activation? Mediating effect of entrepreneurial orientation.

In order to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem at the national level, this study aims to examine the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation between entrepreneurial resources and startup activities. Our empirical results based on samples from the Adult Population Survey (APS) and Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data revealed that entrepreneurial resources have a positive impact on startup activation and entrepreneurial orientation plays a significant role as a mediator in the entrepreneurial resource-startup activation relationship. Our results suggest that in a business ecosystem where entrepreneurial resources persistently exist, individuals are more likely to participate in startup activation, and entrepreneurial orientation can promote startup activity not only in countries rich in entrepreneurial resources but also in emerging countries where they are scarce.

Exploring the impact of environmental, social, and governance on clean development mechanism implementation through an institutional approach.

The study hypothesizes that the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) of the host country have a significant effect on clean development mechanism (CDM) implementation. As CDM incorporates sustainable development as one of the objectives for the green transition, many countries endeavor to adopt and implement CDM as their cleaner production method. Based on the institutional theory, the study aims to investigate the mechanism by which the institutional process of each ESG pillar makes an opportunity for a host country and to see how such country-specific factors influence the implementation of CDM projects.
