Governmental Supportive Policies for Green Entrepreneurial Activity in Saudi Arabia: An Institutional Analysis

The chapter 'Governmental Supportive Policies for Green Entrepreneurial Activity in Saudi Arabia: An Institutional Analysis' delves into the impact of governmental policies on green entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia. It discusses the importance of entrepreneurship for long-term development and the role of green entrepreneurship in addressing humanitarian, economic, and environmental issues. The study employs institutional economics to understand how environmental, innovation, and entrepreneurship policies influence green entrepreneurial activity. Using panel data from 21 Saudi Arabian cities between 2014 and 2018, the authors test three hypotheses regarding the positive influence of these policies on green entrepreneurship. The chapter contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence and practical insights for policymakers and practitioners interested in promoting sustainable business practices.
