We explore Perceived Own-Firm and Perceived Competitor Compliance in firms. In particular, we investigate the links between Perceived Own-Firm and Perceived Competitor compliance, as well as the links with the perceived value and burden of regulation.

Methods

We conduct an in-depth ex-post review of our original survey, to explore the impact of several factors (such as the type of trade-association support and message frequency/type) on response rates in our micro-firm case. The paper ends with a comprehensive set of suggestions for future researchers.

These results have been published in The Electronic Journal of Business Research Methods (EJBRM).
