Robert Vesco

I'm doctoral student at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business.

My research interests include understanding (a) why some areas are more entrepreneurial than others, (b) what drives people to pursue entrepreneurship, and (c) how can policies foster effective and sustainable entrepreneurship.

Social Entrepreneurship Research

Looking for social entrepreneurship research online can be a challenge. There just doesn't seem to be that many good sources around. To aid in this issue, the University Network, formed by Ashoka, the Skoll Centre, and several other partners, combined their forces to create a resource hub around promoting social entrepreneurship. While there are no shortage of such organizations  what caught my attention is that they've created a social entrepreneurship e-journal on SSRN. These are the top categories they've setup so far:

Unfortunately, SSRN still doesn't have RSS feeds setup for it's journals, only for specific authors, so you still need to subscribe to their emails to get the latest updates. This is a shame because it makes it harder to sift through research and promote research outside of SSRN. On the upside, you can now comment on SSRN articles.
