Abstract

Entrepreneurs, and the firms they start, may be the most important element in rural economic development, more important than trying to lure branch plants from elsewhere and more important than encouraging existing businesses to expand. Encouraging entrepreneurship is the hard part. New firms need some things often in short supply in rural areas: technical and professional workers, financing, markets, business services. Here’s a look at what entrepreneurs need.
