The distinctiveness of migrants’ entrepreneurial propensity can be explained by considering both internal characteristics of the individual migrant, as well as the external environment of the host economy he/she operates in (Kloosterman et al. 1999). Migrants can perceive and seek entrepreneurial opportunities through specific sets of resources and personality-traits (Kloosterman/Rath 2001, Kloosterman 2010). Despite of this, the topic is vastly under-studied compared to its economic importance.

Scenario #1: Entrepreneurs because they are immigrants suggests to me- an oversupply of such individuals from the country of origin and an under-supply in the host country. It also suggest to me "external environment of the host economy" as a strong impetus. For this I have included the 1st link.
Scenario #2: Immigrants because they are entrepreneurs suggest to me the same conditions as scenario #1, but this time the country-centric factor is replaced by the individual-centric factor, it is "specific sets of...personality-traits" as the impetus. For this I have included the 2nd link.
Scenario #1: is recommended for countries/cities who are playing catch-up in a pre-existing "game"
Scenario #2: is recommended for countries/cities who want to be at the cutting-edge, leveraging on first mover advantage, but also realize the "curse of the first-mover"
