Abstract

The study of the role of entrepreneurship in the modern economy is rooted in economics but has a distinctly eclectic flavor. See Thurik et al. (2002), Wennekers et al. (2002), Audretsch and Thurik (2004) but above all Parker (2004), for many references. It attempts to introduce the variable ‘entrepreneurship’ – whatever it may be – in subfields of economics like labor economics, economics of growth and economic development, industrial organization, enterprise policy, applied micro, and business economics, among others. It has the vivid and pervasive interest of policy makers because entrepreneurship is assumed to enhance economic growth (Carree and Thurik 2003; Acs et al. 2004; Audretsch and Keilbach 2004; van Praag and Versloot 2007). One is inclined to think that such interest – coupled with enormous efforts of entrepreneurship policy making which are more and more similar across countries – would lead to a convergence in entrepreneurship levels across countries. This is not the case because, despite this interest, there remain persistent differences of the level of entrepreneurship across countries (Audretsch et al. 2007).
