Recognizing the pivotal role of entrepreneurship in driving innovation and economic growth, a spectrum of institutions, encompassing government bodies, universities, and business accelerators, has formulated diverse strategies to promote entrepreneurship. These efforts involve various facets, such as formal educational programs, mentoring initiatives, regulatory reforms, and infrastructural support. These institutional endeavors collectively aim to cultivate entrepreneurial skills and motivation among aspiring entrepreneurs. Though extant academic work explores the interaction of institutions and entrepreneurship from diverse angles and provides significant insights, it remains unclear whether and how institutions actually help in developing entrepreneurial skills and motivation. Across three tightly-linked papers, this dissertation addresses this gap. Focusing on accelerators, an emerging institution in the entrepreneurship ecosystem, the first paper explores its impact on an entrepreneur's subsequent professional engagements and long-term impact on entrepreneurial ecosystem. I use a regression discontinuity design on accepted and almost accepted participants from a unique data set of 30,000 applicants from Startup Chile. The second paper explores the impact of bureaucratic institutions on entrepreneurial opportunity recognition in a randomized field experiment in Bangladesh. The third paper explores the strategies and performance of institutional entrepreneurs analyzing more than 8000 entrepreneurs from an Alumni survey dataset. Together, these papers help us address endogeneity issues in prior works and make several contributions to literature on entrepreneurship, and organization theory. It also offers valuable insights for management practitioners and policymakers.
