In addition, Jill and Fiona (in partnership with colleagues from the University of Bodo, Norway) presented their paper, "Across Cultural And Economic Boundaries: Modeling Cognitions, Norms, And Motivations Onto Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy And Intentionality." Lindsay Titus ('05), Jill Kickul, and Patrick Murphy (DePaul University), using some of the recent research from the Panel Survey of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED) presented a paper on "Contextualizing Legitimacy, Risk Preference, and Social Capital For Women Entrepreneurs." Also, in partnership with Norris Krueger (Boise State University) and as a follow-up to the work by Laney Whitcanack ('05) and Jill on entrepreneurial cognition, a talk was given on "Choice Modeling Of Venture Preferences: The Impact Of Mental Prototyping." Finally, Laney Whitcanack and Jill Kickul are collaborating on an international study with Alain Fayolle, E.M. Lyon, France, Benoît Gailly, Université Catholique de Louvain, and Nargisse Lassas-Clerc, E.M.
