Abstract

Transnational Diaspora Entrepreneurship (TDE), despite being a highly relevant phenomenon in a globalised world, lacks research based on quantitative data, as there was no such data until recently. The lack of TDE data was addressed by the EU-funded research project DiasporaLink from 2015 to 2019. As a result, a TDE measuring methodology was created that utilizes Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Instruments to collect data on the rare event of TDE in multiple countries. The paper substantiates the relevance of TDE and outlines the new methodology by revealing newly created questionnaires targeting transnational diaspora and transnational entrepreneurs and comparing them with other entrepreneurs within a country’s population. Furthermore, a brief overview of the data collection process in 2016 is made as well as the calculation of TDE variables derived from the new questionnaire and their usability is shown.
