Entrepreneurial Progress: Climbing the Entrepreneurial Ladder in Europe and the US
Résumé
This study investigates which countries have the highest potential to achieve entrepreneurial progress. This progress is an important determinant of a region's competitiveness and is defined as an entrepreneurial ladder with five successive steps: "never thought about starting a business", "thinking about starting a business", "taking steps to start a business", "running a business for less than three years", and "running a business for more than three years". The influences of individual-level and country-level variables on the progression through these stages are analyzed. Findings show that countries display large variation in the ease with which businesses come into existence and survive. A country's level of administrative complexity does not play a role in achieving entrepreneurial progress, but individual perceptions of this complexity are a hindering factor.
