My research interests and fields center on: a) innovation; b) corruption, institutional environment and entrepreneurship; c) gender inequality in entrepreneurship; as well as d) emergence and development of high-technology industries and clusters. In my research, I utilize and combine theories from economics, sociology, and social/cognitive psychology and use various empirical methods (such as panel econometrics, large-scale survey analyses, cross-national comparisons as well as in-depth interviews). I regularly present my research at peer-reviewed international research conferences on entrepreneurship and management (such as Academy of Management; Babson College Conference on Entrepreneurship Research; Interdisciplinary European Conference on Entrepreneurship Research; and Diana International Research Conference).
