Entrepreneurial Climate

Purpose – Previous scholarly studies on institutions tend to create a sombre picture of institutions by ignoring to examine the antecedents of formal and informal institutions. The purpose of this paper is to overcome this limitation by proposing a conceptual framework of the antecedents of formal and informal institutions of entrepreneurial climate in a less developed market setting. Design/methodology/approach – This study builds on a comprehensive survey of the literature on institutions by using a synthesis thematic methodology to identified key scholarly studies which have been published in previous theoretical and empirical studies and proposes a conceptual framework of the role of formal and informal institutions in defining entrepreneurial climate in a developing economy’s context. Findings – The findings of the paper suggest that political factors and economic factors define formal institutions whilst socio-cultural factors define informal institutions. These factors rooted in political, economic and socio-cultural factors have a major influence on the rate and nature of entrepreneurial activity in a developing country setting. Practical implications – This paper contributes to the literature on entrepreneurship and intuitional theory by focusing on the antecedents of formal and informal institutional factors that shape entrepreneurial climate in Ghana. Originality/value – To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first review that explores the nature of entrepreneurial climate and proposes a conceptual framework of the role of formal and informal institutions in defining entrepreneurial climate in Ghana.

Abstract. Attention is paid to the important role of an effective system of institutions to ensure the economic development of Ukraine. It is noted that the formation of this system should be given the attention of scientists, as well as government agencies. The content of economic transformation of postsocialist countries, in particular Ukraine, is studied. The study was conducted using the methodology of comparing the capitalist and socialist systems, as well as the historical approach. The content of categories «property» and «transformation» is considered, as well as the influence of property institutions on the dynamics of transformation processes that took place in postsocialist countries. The interrelation and interdependence between the influence of institutions and the dynamics of the process of postsocialist transformation are determined. Results of the study showed a low level of development of formal institutions in Ukraine, while informal institutions act as a natural brake on further economic development. It is emphasized that the influence of institutions on the dynamics of postsocialist transformation processes is essential and crucial in Ukraine. Based on the institution of ownership, the effects of ownership are considered. Western countries are able to generate capital and maximize the benefits of using property due to their full use. Unlike Western countries, in Ukraine property is considered on the basis of the object, and not through a system of rights that can be used by the owner. The nature of legal and illegal property relations, as well as the preconditions for the transformation of property institutions, are considered in detail. The influence of formal and informal institutions on the dynamics of postsocialist transformation processes in Ukraine is determined. The emergence of intangible property by example of intellectual property, as well as the importance of compliance and implementation of property rights by the legislative system are considered. Conclusions are made about the current situation of the socio-economic system of Ukraine in the context of the transformation of formal and informal institutions.

Today, scientific discussions on the specifics of the development of civil society in Russia do not stop. The institutional approach allows us to look at this problem through the prism of formal and informal institutions existing in society. Researchers and practitioners should not focus only on the rule of law, official prescriptions and orders, setting the framework for interactions between authorities and citizens, promoting private initiatives, and realizing the rights and freedoms of the population. If they do not correspond to the prevailing norms, stereotypes, ways of thinking and actions for centuries, then the most useful, at first glance, innovations in the political and social sphere may not take root. This does not mean, however, that informal institutions remain unchanged under any circumstances. They also evolve. This process can be targeted. It is important to understand all the actors involved in the development of civil society in our country.

Household Assets

This paper investigates the effect of various idiosyncratic shocks against child labor, child labor hour and school attendance. Also, the role of the assets held by households as one of the coping strategies to mitigate the effects of shocks. The results show that various idiosyncratic shocks that encourage child labor is generally caused by crop loss, a disease suffered by the head or member of the household, a decrease in household income due to lower prices and the quantity produced and the death of the head or a family member. This indicates that households are not sheltered from the idiosyncratic shocks and restricted access to formal and informal institutions. Other findings show a variety of idiosyncratic shocks does not affect child labor hour and the school attendance. Additionally, household assets play an important role in reducing the number of child labor and increase school attendance but do not affect the child labor hour during a variety of idiosyncratic shocks.
