This study explores the influence of green entrepreneurial activity on sustainable development, using institutional economics as a theoretical framework. Also, the role of entrepreneurship policy is analysed in the context of Saudi Arabia. Using information from the General Authority for Statistics from 13 Saudi Arabian cities, the main findings show that green entrepreneurship positively contributes to the economic, social, and environmental components of sustainable development during the period 2012-2017. These results demonstrate a measurable indication of sustainable development outcomes, whereby Saudi Arabian institutions align entrepreneurial activities with a positive triple bottom line effect. Accordingly, these findings contribute new evidence to justify government commitment to supporting green entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia and encourage future domestic policies.
本研究以制度经济学为理论框架,探讨了绿色创业活动对可持续发展的影响。此外,还分析了创业政策在沙特阿拉伯背景下的作用。本研究使用了来自沙特阿拉伯 13 个城市的统计总局的信息,主要发现表明,在 2012 年至 2017 年期间,绿色创业活动对可持续发展的经济、社会和环境组成部分都有积极的贡献。这些结果表明了可持续发展成果的可衡量性,即沙特阿拉伯的机构将创业活动与积极的三重底线效应联系起来。因此,这些发现为政府支持沙特阿拉伯绿色创业提供了新的证据,并鼓励未来制定国内政策。
