Situational factors may facilitate or frustrate the translation of entrepreneurial intentions into subsequent actions. In this study, we use data from two waves of a large-scale cross-country study of student entrepreneurship, the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey (GUESSS), conducted in 2011 and 2013/2014 (n = 1434 students from 142 universities in nine countries), in order to investigate the impact of country-level institutions (financial market institutions and legal institutions) on the link between entrepreneurial intentions and subsequent start-up activities. We find that the quality of legal institutions has a significant positive impact on the translation of intentions into actions, whereas the quality of the national financial system does not influence the intentions-actions link. Theoretical and public policy implications are discussed.

青年创业从意图到行动：制度视角

情境因素可能促进或阻碍创业意图转化为后续行动。在这项研究中，我们使用了 2011 年和 2013/2014 年进行的两次大规模跨国学生创业研究的数据，即全球大学创业精神学生调查 (GUESSS)（n = 1434 名来自 142 所大学的学生） 9 个国家），以调查国家级机构（金融市场机构和法律机构）对创业意图与随后的创业活动之间联系的影响。我们发现，法律制度的质量对意图转化为行动有显着的正向影响，而国家金融体系的质量不影响意图-行动的联系。
