Eklund3 Published online: 5 May 2015 © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015 Abstract Entrepreneurship can have important positive effects linked to job creation, wealth and income generation, innovation and industry competitiveness. Scholars and policy-makers around the world have turned to the regulatory envi- ronment as a mechanism through which entrepreneurship can be encouraged, grown and its economic benefits harnessed. The effect of regulatory conditions on en- trepreneurship however is not well understood, and can be nuanced given the wide range of regulatory tools and possible areas of impact. This paper serves as the introduction to a special issue, which seeks to shed some light on the relationship between regulation, firm dynamics and entrepreneurship. We identify some foun- dational considerations relevant to this relationship and discuss key questions, followed by a brief overview of each of the papers contained in the special issue.
