The relationship between the migration experience and risk perception: A factor in the decision to become an entrepreneur

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
This study examines the proposition that the migration experience influences perceptions of risk and, as such, the ‘migrant condition’ is a factor in explaining relatively high rates of entrepreneurship among immigrants in many host countries. The study analyses data obtained from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor(GEM) Spain 2009 Survey with regardto perceptions of risk in beginning a new venture.The study finds that immigrants to Spain, irrespective of their originor ethnicity, are less likely than native Spaniards to perceive business creation as a risky situation. Moreover, the findings suggest that the perception of risk has a significant impact on the decision to engage in business start-up activity.
