Employing the two-step system General Method of Moment estimation for unbalanced panel data, our study provides surprising evidence, indicating that EPU may not always be harmful to entrepreneurship. Precisely, in contrast with existing literature emphasising the negative impact of the uncertainty on entrepreneurship, our article suggests that EPU seems to boost pro-entrepreneurial social and cultural norms (i.e., encouraging actions for creation of new businesses). As such, we suggest that uncertainty may serve as an exogenous shock, filtering ‘good’ business ventures from ‘not-so-good’ ones.
