We are looking for experimental research in entrepreneurship

The 2007 World Bank Entrepreneuship Database finds significant relationships between entrepreneurial activity and the quality of the enabling environment. The bank and the Kauffman Foundation are now jointly offering funding of up to $35,000 for research projects that will study what contributes to greater entrepreneurship and formal sector participation.

Research proposals are due by January 15, 2008. A pre-conference is scheduled for fall 2008 and the main conference for 2009. Detailis are here.
