A paper needs an idea that is well-thought-out and well-cited. Outside of math or the natural sciences, it does not need experiments, mathematics, or data.

- rini17 6y agoIf you label one sector of economy as harmful and another one as beneficial, why not use actual data to support your claim? Unlike thesis like "goto considered harmful" there are enough data out there. Authors even mention the actual size of the untrepreneurial industry in $, but don't dig any further.
- talentedcoin 6y agoYeah, I tend to agree with you there. I get the impression that was just more work, or not the focus of this specific paper. For what it's worth, they do say > Rather, we seek to provide a description of a subset of the population of ventures which appear to be growth-oriented entrepreneurship but on closer inspection are not. The exact size of this sub-set is a matter for further empirical study. So, I'm looking forward to the follow up I guess :)
