Abstract

Although scholars recognize the importance of replication for advancing scientific progress, little is known about the extent to which replication efforts have informed entrepreneurship research. This research brief systematically reviews the body of replication studies in the field, examining which replication designs have been employed and where future efforts could be directed. We find that conceptual extension and empirical generalization replication designs dominate, while checking of analysis and exact replications remain rare. We advocate for greater use of diverse replication designs, highlight promising avenues for future replication efforts, and propose specific practices to strengthen transparency, documentation, and reproducibility.
