Acs, László Szerb, Erkko Autio1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (142 p.)SpringerBriefs in Economics,2191-5504Description based upon print version of record.3-319-14931-8 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 National Systems of Entrepreneurship -- Chapter 3 Institutions, Incentives, and Entrepreneurship -- Chapter 4 The Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index -- Chapter 5 Methodology and Data Description -- Appendices.This volume captures the context features of entrepreneurship and fills a gap in the measurement of development. Building on recent advances in entrepreneurship and economic development, the authors have created an index that offers a measure of the quality of the business formation process in 120 of the most important countries in the world. The authors expertly capture the contextual feature of entrepreneurship by focusing on entrepreneurial attitudes, entrepreneurial abilities and entrepreneurial aspirations. The data and their contribution to the business formation process are supported by three decades of research into entrepreneurship across a host of countries. The Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index is a construction of individual and institutional measures that integrates 31 variables from various data sources into 15 pillars, three sub-indexes and a 'super index'. The relationship between entrepreneurship and economic development appears to be more or less mildly S-shaped. The findings suggest moving away from simple measures of entrepreneurship across countries illustrating a U-shaped or L-shaped relationship to more complex measures, which are positively related to development. The model has important implications for development policy. This unique book will be invaluable for researchers, policymakers and entrepreneurs keen to expand their understanding of entrepreneurship and development.SpringerBriefs in Economics,2191-5504EntrepreneurshipEconomic developmentManagementIndustrial managementEntrepreneurshiphttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514000Economic Growthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000Innovation/Technology Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000Entrepreneurship.Economic development.Management.Industrial management.Entrepreneurship.Economic Growth.Innovation/Technology Management.658.421Acs Zoltan Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut89013Szerb Lászlóauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autAutio Erkkoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298484603321Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index 20142540367UNINA
