| Abstract: | In this paper, a theory is presented in which talented entrepreneurs are identified as the key agents driving the process of development (here as: dev.) and modernization. Entrepreneurial skills are private information, preventing full risk sharing. Dev. into a modern industrial economy might fail to occur because potentially talented entrepreneurs may refrain from taking on the entrepreneurial risks as a way to avoid income shocks. The informational asymmetries are endogenous to the process of dev. in the model. |
