Abstract

This study employs correlation analysis and a fixed effects model premised on indexes extracted through principal component analysis to assess the effects of entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviour, and entrepreneurial framework conditions (EFCs) on economic growth in BRICS economies. For purposes of effectiveness, a panel dataset for entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviour, and EFCs indicators is pooled from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor website, and one for gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, a proxy for economic growth, is sourced from the World Bank website over the period 2001-2021. The study reveals that there are statistically significant negative correlations between GDP per capita and ‘entrepreneurial intentions rate’, ‘perceived capabilities rate’, ‘perceived opportunities rate’, ‘governmental support and policies’, ‘taxes and bureaucracy’, ‘governmental programmes’, ‘internal market openness’, ‘physical and services infrastructure’ and ‘cultural and social norms’. Furthermore, entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviour positively impact GDP per capita, whereas EFCs have no significant influence on GDP per capita in BRICS economies.
