Abstract
In this study, we examine the impact of each U.S. state’s score in technology
use on the entrepreneurial activity in that state. We specifically focus on each
state’s score on internet startup process, internet tax payment process, and internet
licensing process to see how they impact the entrepreneurial activity in each state.
We also examine whether the characteristics of small businesses and entrepreneurs
differ across high technology use and low technology use states. Our results show
that there is no statistically significant difference in terms of total entrepreneurial
activity between states with technology scores and low technology scores.
However, our results confirm that small businesses and entrepreneurs with certain
characteristics prefer high technology use states. We find that new startups,
entrepreneurs that are independent in the political scale and community college
graduates tend to prefer states with high internet startup scores and high internet
tax scores. Female entrepreneurs also tend to prefer states with high internet
startup scores. Finally, we find that single employee firms, entrepreneurs with
previous entrepreneurial experience, entrepreneurs that are liberal in the political
scale and technical college graduates tend to prefer states with high internet
licensing scores.
