We find that a increase in credit availability led to a basis point increase in entrepreneurship equivalent to a increase in the number of entrepreneurs.
New entrants were more likely to start businesses in sectors where they had no prior experience and were more likely to fail than those who did not benefit from the reform. Our results provide evidence that credit constraints do affect entrepreneurship but that the overall magnitudes are small. Moreover the marginal individuals selecting into entrepreneurship when constraints are relaxed may well be starting businesses that are of lower quality than the average existing businesses leading to an increase in churning entry that does not translate into a sustained increase in the overall level of entrepreneurship.
