Characteristics of Cities and Social Entrepreneurship

Résumé

Social entrepreneurship research remains largely conceptual and qualitative, which makes the comparisons with profit-seeking entrepreneurship difficult. This paper is an attempt to fill in this empirical divide. As such, we perform a statistical study of the characteristics of the social entrepreneurial city. Using a nationwide dataset on social venturing at the city level in France, we find that the social entrepreneurial city shares many common points with the entrepreneurial city: it is a large city, with a diversified economy and a highly educated and active population. There are also some major differences, as social entrepreneurship emerges in places lacking of creative arts and entertainment options, where there is abundance of social workers, and where a significant portion of inhabitants are living in social housing.
