Abstract:
|
We address the question of what determines entrepreneurship in
developing countries. In particular, because of the influence that this may
have on the design of entrepreneurship policies, our main concern is
whether the determinants of entrepreneurship are the same and/or have
the same impact in developed and developing countries. To this end, we
discuss the arguments put forward in the literature in support of the
existence of differences in the determinants of entrepreneurship between
developed and developing countries. We also analyse the results found in
empirical studies on the determinants of formal firm entry (following the
World Bank, our proxy of entrepreneurship) in developing countries and
compare these results with those typically found in developed countries.
Our main conclusion is that policy makers in developing economies should
be careful when using evidence from developed countries to design
entrepreneurship-promoting policies.
Key words: entrepreneurship, developing countries.
