Abstract
This study makes a singular contribution to the literature by being the first to analyze the differences between nascent entrepreneurs and franchisees using the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED) national database of the United States of America. The PSED, developed through the entrepreneurship research consortium, was one of the most comprehensive studies ever completed on nascent entrepreneurs.
