註釋This dissertation studies the effects of social network structure on entrepreneurial entry. It analyses how social influence and status affect the decision of individuals to bring a new, self-created offer to the market. Previous work provides evidence for these effects but has not been able to reveal the underlying mechanisms. Drawing on network theory, we derive hypotheses on proximity-based contagion and status-based convergence mechanisms and test them in the context of the comic book industry using event history analysis and panel data covering the careers of more than 11,000 creators from 1988 to 2014.
