We are pleased to announce the publication of a new article by EINT researchers Mirko Hirschmann and Christian Fisch (University of Luxembourg, SnT), together with Steffen Farny (Leuphana University of Lüneburg).
Their paper, titled “Biodiversity loss and entrepreneurship: Empirical evidence on threat perceptions among primary-sector entrepreneurs in 28 European countries”, has been published in the Journal of Business Venturing Insights.
Overview: The study investigates how entrepreneurs perceive threats to biodiversity. Analyzing a sample of 3,469 entrepreneurs from 28 European countries, the authors find that primary sector entrepreneurs counterintuitively perceive own activities as less threatening to biodiversity loss than other entrepreneurs. However, this effect diminishes in countries with stronger reliance on the primary sector.
