Economic crisis and export‐oriented entrepreneurship: Evidence from Greece

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to explore the antecedents of export‐oriented entrepreneurship in Greece at times of crisis using micro‐level data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor annual surveys (2008–2014). Such antecedents refer to the demographic characteristics, perceptions, and dynamism of entrepreneurs. The findings of this study suggest that innovativeness drives the export activity of entrepreneurs in the initial and the more recent years of the economic crisis. Fear of failure and necessity motives appear to matter at the beginning of the crisis, whereas education is found to play a crucial role for international entrepreneurship as the crisis deepens.
