    Entrepreneurial Intentions in the Context of a Natural Disaster
    (2020) Bustamante, Carla; Poblete Cazenave, Carlos; Amorós, José Ernesto
    This study advances the emerging stream of research on micro-level consequences of exogenous shocks, and how they shape individual functioning. Borrowing from the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991), our study explores the moderating effect of natural disasters on the well-studied relationship between entrepreneurship-oriented beliefs (behavioral, normative, and control beliefs), and entrepreneurial intentions. This study relies on data gathered by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, before and after the earthquake that took place in Chile on February 27th, 2010. While research suggest that exogenous shocks may change individual attitudes, our results show that natural disasters do not change but instead reinforce positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship; similarly, they also reinforce the relationship between perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intent. On the other hand, we found that subjective norms become less relevant in shaping entrepreneurial intentions after the occurrence of a natural disaster.
