SOCIAL IMPACT INVESTMENT: BUILDING THE EVIDENCE BASE<br />

6.5.1. Academic literature building on SII data<br />

6.58 Even though academic literature on social enterprises is large, academic literature on SII is<br />

relatively scarce. In particular, academic papers that attempt to measure the scope of SII are rare. Table 6.4<br />

below provides examples of the academic literature that focus on gathering and analysis SII-related data.<br />

6.59 In terms of market components, most of the advances in data analysis have been on the demand<br />

side. The academic literature on social enterprises is extensive. For example, international research<br />

networks specifically devoted to social enterprises (e.g. EMES; TEPSIE) have been established and<br />

contributed to advances in the understanding of the social enterprise sector. 30 Mapping of social enterprises<br />

(lactu sensu) exist for a number of countries. Smith and Rothbaum (2013) provide an overview of business<br />

demographics trends related co-operatives across several countries, including Canada, France, Germany,<br />

Italy, UK and US.<br />
