Abstract

Researchers studying entrepreneurship have understood the importance of different forms of capital in creating and growing business and the effect that these businesses have on overall prosperity. The focus for entrepreneurship researchers has been on the "hard" assets of financial and physical capital. Many of the studies have begun to increasingly emphasize the knowledge and value of the skills that people bring to their work, as well as the effect that these inputs have on the economic development. In addition, increases in human capital measures have a positive influence on entrepreneurship.
