Release Date: 3/8/2008
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and Social Science Research Network (SSRN) are pleased to announce the top downloaded entrepreneurship papers of 2007. The papers are part of the Entrepreneurship Research and Policy Network (ERPN), an online network sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation and SSRN.
ERPN provides an online community for entrepreneurship research from all academic disciplines and the users of that information. Since its inception in March 2006 the ERPN has grown significantly, now consisting of more than 4,300 papers with a combined total of more than 521,000 downloads.
"The volume of content uploaded to and downloaded from the network shows the great interest among academics and researchers in entrepreneurship," said Robert Litan, Kauffman Foundation vice president of Research and Policy. "Encouraging the networking of scholars across academic disciplines and the early dissemination of research helps us to drive better scholarship in this arena."
During 2007, the top three downloaded entrepreneurship papers by topic were:
