Abstract: | Entrepreneurship is currently considered one of the major foundations of economic growth. There is a strong
tendency to understand entrepreneurship as technology, self-employment, new ideas, innovation, or wealth
creation. We can thus expect more developed countries to show higher growth rates, given the importance of
firms' development for economic and social growth. For this reason, it is important to determine the conditions
that have the greatest influence on entrepreneurship dynamics at the macroeconomic level. Using firm birth and
death rates (related to business dynamics and entrepreneurship), we focus on the European Union and use
qualitative comparative analysis techniques to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for business
dynamics. After dividing the whole EU sample into cohesion and non-cohesion countries, we find that entrepreneurship
in cohesion countries is driven by necessity, while in non-cohesion countries, it is driven by
opportunity. |
