Researchers from the EntreLR research project, jointly led at the Institute by Rolf Sternberg and Christian Hundt, presented empirical results from three papers at the 5th Conference on the Dynamics of Entrepreneurship (CoDE) on 12 October in Mannheim. The conference, organised by the Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW), is one of the most important entrepreneurship conferences in Germany. In the session "Regional Dimensions of Entrepreneurship", organised and chaired by Rolf Sternberg, three papers were presented that were produced as part of EntreLR, each as a cooperation between the three research institutions involved in the project (Department of Economic Geography at LUH, Thünen Institute for Innovation and Value Creation in Rural Areas in Braunschweig, and ZEW in Mannheim). Lena Füner (ZEW) presented the paper "The spatial dimensions of digital entrepreneurship: Evidence from broadbent and internet rollouts in Germany", in which she and co-authors Rolf Sternberg, Moritz Lubczyk, Christian Bergholz and Johannes Bersch are involved. Christian Hundt (TI) presented the paper "Varities of capitalism, regions, and entrepreneurship: Empirical evidence from Germany and England" (co-authors Neha Prashar, Lennard Stolz and Rolf Sternberg). Finally, "Unemployment as a driver of entrepreneurship in Eastern and Western Germany: Urban and rural areas compared" was the topic of the presentation by Christian Bergholz, who presented the paper written jointly by him, Rolf Sternberg, Johannes Bersch and Lennard Stolz.
