| My work contributes to the fields of entrepreneurship, organizations, economic sociology, social inequality, gender, and historical/comparative sociology by examining how macro-level social conditions affect entrepreneurship, and how entrepreneurship affects social inequality in three complementary projects. First, I examine the institutional and organizational conditions under which entrepreneurs obtain adequate skills and knowledge to start new businesses. Second, I investigate how cultural beliefs about gender and institutional logics concerning entrepreneurship jointly influence men and women’s socioeconomic attainment in their new businesses. Finally, my dissertation extends my research from the American context to Sweden, and examines the mechanisms by which social networks in previous workplaces affect individuals’ entry into entrepreneurship and their opportunities to recruit employees. Together, these projects bridge multiple levels of analysis using a range of statistical methods to explain the founding of new organizations and their influence on social stratification processes.
