To analyse data, the authors performed a preliminary and exploratory statistical analysis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The authors demonstrate that only a small percentage of ventures operating in rural areas constitute examples of effective \u201crural entrepreneurship\u201d, with the bulk of them being just enterprises located in rural settings. Rural new ventures tend to be small (in terms of employees and turnover), rely mainly on the internal market and lag behind other new ventures (located in both rural and urban municipalities) in terms of performance.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The study only includes new knowledge-intensive ventures, that is, those headquartered in business incubators and science parks. Therefore, it cannot be generalised to other new ventures located in rural settings.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The extant literature on entrepreneurship has neglected the empirical implications of mixing, confounding and\/or merging the concepts of \u201crural entrepreneurship\u201d and \u201centrepreneurship activities in rural areas\u201d. In this study, the authors discuss and analyse the empirical boundaries of such concepts and uncover the magnitude of pure \u201crural entrepreneurship\u201d.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jpmd-08-2017-0085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,18]],"date-time":"2018-01-18T19:09:47Z","timestamp":1516302587000},"page":"46-59","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Rural entrepreneurship: the tale of a rare event"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"L\u00facia","family":"Pato","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Aurora Am\u00e9lia Castro","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"key2020093009461949200_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"538","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9663.2010.00630.x","article-title":"Embeddedness of entrepreneurs in rural areas: a comparative rough set data analysis","volume":"101","year":"2010","journal-title":"Tijdschrift Voor Economische En Sociale Geografie"},{"issue":"1\/2","key":"key2020093009461949200_ref002","first-page":"97","article-title":"Kinship and business: how entrepreneurial households facilitate business growth","volume":"26","year":"2014","journal-title":"Entrepreneurship & Regional Development"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2020093009461949200_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102","DOI":"10.1108\/JPMD-06-2012-0017","article-title":"Are you happy here?
