Work, Entrepreneurship, and Finance

In emerging economies, entrepreneurship and access to finance are important components in stimulating economic growth. Efficient firms that create productive jobs are crucial in building healthy, sustainable economies and alleviating poverty. The King Center's affiliated faculty, students, and researchers examine business and financial innovations that can improve the entrepreneurial ecosystem and access to decent work.
