Entitled "Entrepreneurship amongst minority language speakers: the case of Wales, Regional Studies" this paper uses data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) survey to explores the entrepreneurial characteristics of Welsh speakers who live both inside and outside Welsh language clusters, focusing on the extent to which they follow those patterns predicted by theories drawn from the ethnic entrepreneurship field.
The results indicate that whilst fluent Welsh speakers are more likely than non-Welsh speakers to perceive opportunities for business starts and be involved in business starts in non-Welsh-speaking areas, this can be largely explained by differences in environmental and personal characteristics (Regional Studies, Volume 45, Issue 2 February 2011, pp: 219 - 238).
