Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional performance: application for the Spanish regions
研究了新企业创建对西班牙区域经济绩效的影响,发现高技术密集型行业的企业家资源有正向作用,且企业规模也很重要。
The aim of this study is to test the importance of entrepreneurship or new business formation for explaining differences in economic performance in the Spanish regions, together with the role played by the endowments of innovation capital and the socio-economic capabilities of every region. The results show that the effect of new business formation on economic performance varies considerably between regions, and the type of start-up is highly important for the results obtained: entrepreneur endowments of high technology intensive sectors and medium technology intensive sectors, but not those of low technology intensive sectors, have a positive effect on regional performance. Also, the size of the start-ups is important for explaining regional development.
