Item type:Publication, Dataset on Financial Literacy, Financial Inclusion, Informal Financial Business Practices, and Intentions towards Formalization of Female Small Vendors in Lima, Peru(Brill Academic Publishers, 2024-01-01)This article presents findings from a survey conducted in Lima, Peru, aimed at understanding the relationships between education, financial literacy, financial inclusion, and informal financial business practices among small female vendors. The study, which collected 118 valid responses, focused on the impact of these factors on vendors' intentions toward formalization. Formality was assessed based on legal registration with tax authorities, emphasizing the informal practices viewed on a continuum. These practices were evaluated using a five-point gradation scale that depicted varying levels of formality. Financial literacy, financial inclusion, and formalization intentions were measured using a five-point Likert scale, while a dichotomous question captured the formality-informality of the businesses. The demographic variables included age, gender, business tenure, employee count, and business activity. Educational level, typically treated as demographic, was considered an antecedent to financial literacy. The dataset linked to this study included raw survey data. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, industry representatives, public authorities, and stakeholders from developing countries to deal with informality and formalization. The survey methodology and data are adaptable for use in different national contexts, facilitating comparative analysis in developing countries. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Entrepreneurs competing between legitimacy and financial sustainability in times of COVID-19: The role of family and friends’ support(FUCAPE Business School, 2024-03-01)Entrepreneurship plays a significant role in a country’s development, through new ventures and innovation. In recent times, entrepreneurs have incorporated sustainability into their practice to become more competitive and productive. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, entrepreneurship has faced the challenge of deciding to allocate limited resources to maintain legitimacy. This paper analyzes the relationship between legitimacy and financial sustainability in COVID-19 times among Colombian entrepreneurs, moderated by family and friends’ support. Primary data was collected through a survey of 219 Colombian entrepreneurs. The structural equation model technique was used to validate the model. The study findings revealed that legitimacy positively affects financial sustainability and is positively enhanced by the family’s support of Colombian entrepreneurs while being negatively moderated by friends’ support.
