Abstract

Entrepreneurs usually require financing for starting their businesses. Their primary source may be personal savings, family and friends' funds, or loans from banks and other financial institutions. Immigrant and native entrepreneurs may differ in their sources of financing, and their differences in sources may depend on their societal context. The research questions are, how does an entrepreneur's migration status -immigrant versus native-influence primary source of financing, and how is this influence moderated by wealth of the country? Data are a sample of 14,369 immigrant and native owner-managers of starting businesses in 29 countries, surveyed in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, and analyzed by hierarchical mixed models. Analyses reveal that immigrant and native entrepreneurs similarly frequently have their personal savings and family as the primary source of funding. Native entrepreneurs, more often than immigrant entrepreneurs, have banks and other financial institutions as the primary source of funding. Immigrants, more often than native entrepreneurs, have friends and yet other sources as the primary source of funding. These effects of migration status upon source of financing, however, are moderated by the national context, in that wealth of the country boosts the immigrants' use of friends and other sources of financing.

일반적으로 기업가들이 창업을 할 때 자금을 필요로 한다. 이들 자금의 주요원천은 개인저축, 가족이나 친구들의 자금 또는 은행이나 다른 금융기관들의 대출이다. 이민자와 모국인 기업가들의 자금원천에는 차이가 있는데, 그 차이는 그들이 처해있는 사회적 맥락에 기인한다. 이 연구의 주제는 기업가의 거주형태-이민자인지 모국인인지-가 어떻게 자금의 원천에 영향을 미치는지, 그리고 이러한 차이가 어떻게 한국가의 부에 의해 조절효과를 가지는지 하는 것이다. 데이터는 글로벌 기업가정신 모니터에서 29개국 14,369명의 이민자 및 모국인 창업 기업주나 관리자를 대상으로 서베이한 것을 사용했으며, 위계혼합모델을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 이민자나 모국인 기업가 모두 개인저축과 가족의 자금을 가장 주요한 자금원천으로 사용했다. 모국인 기업가들은 이민자 기업가들보다 은행이나 금융기관들을 주요 자금원천으로 사용한데 반해, 이민자 기업가들은 친구나 기타 원천을 자금원천으로 사용했다. 하지만 이러한 거주형태가 자금의 원천에 미치는 영향은 국가의 상황에 의해 조절된 것으로 나타났다. 한 국가의 부의 정도가 친구나 기타 원천을 자금원천으로 사용하도록 촉진한 것으로 나타났다.
