E&I executive orders from 1980 to 1992 focused on updating and restructuring the Small Business Administration (SBA). New programs housed under the SBA focused on subsets of small business owners, such as women, minorities, and the disabled. Other applicable executive orders also amended licensing regulations to reduce barriers to entry for new firms. Note that we did not count occupational licensing in our designation for E&I executive orders. For example, an executive order allowing hair dressers to operate without a license does not count as an E&I executive order. These executive orders did not discuss entrepreneurship, patents, venture capital, accelerators, and incubators. Thus, executive orders from this period had a more narrow focus than our general relevancy test for E&I executive orders.
