在大多数发展中经济体，创业传统上集中在少数小社区手中。随着这些经济体的结构调整，这些社区显然将无法满足对新企业家的日益增长的需求。本文的分析表明，在某些情况下，新的商业网络将弥补第一代企业家家庭背景的薄弱，即使在进入壁垒很大的行业，也会支持职业流动。使用新的公司一级的数据，印度钻石业的实证分析文件中发挥的重要作用，在一个历史上处于不利地位的社区在一个单一的一代人的过程中，从农业扩展到国际商业的基础社区网络。
Entrepreneurship has been traditionally concentrated in the hands of a few small communities in most developing economies. As these economies restructure, it is evident that these communities will be unable to satisfy the increased demand for new entrepreneurs. The analysis in this paper suggests that new business networks will compensate for the weak family background of first-generation entrepreneurs under some circumstances, supporting occupational mobility even in industries with significant barriers to entry. Using new firm-level data on the Indian diamond industry, the empirical analysis documents the important role played by an underlying community network in the expansion from agriculture to international business in one historically disadvantaged community over the course of a single generation.
