Yasuyuki Motoyama studies how entrepreneurship develops in specific places, focusing on regional and local 'ecosystems' that support new businesses—things like support organizations, small towns, and gateway cities. Recent work also examines how factors like race, gender, and the COVID-19 pandemic have unevenly affected business closures, wages, and economic opportunity across different communities in the United States.
Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, peaking in 2019 and settling into a slower but steady pace of roughly two to five papers per year in recent years.
