| Samenvatting |
The present paper provides a theoretical framework of the relationship between rate of
entrepreneurship and n ational economic performance. The first part deals with some aspects of the
recent economics literature on the relation between entrepreneurship and small business, on the one
hand, and economic growth, on the other. In particular, it gives a summary of some work of the
EIM/CASBEC research group in the Netherlands. In the second part a framework is presented linking
entrepreneurship and growth at different levels of aggregation. The last part of the paper illustrates
the framework with some historical case studies. The present paper supplements Wennekers,
Uhlaner and Thurik (2002) which is concerned with the causes of the rate of entrepreneurship. |
