Summary

The previous chapter reviewed evidence on individual-level drivers of entrepreneurship: the present chapter outlines evidence relating to of rates of entrepreneurship at the regional and macroeconomic levels. Neighborhoods, cities, clusters and entire regions differ systematically in terms of the quality and quantity of entrepreneurship: evidence on these outcomes and their deep causes are documented. The chapter explores the impacts of entrepreneurs on regional employment and income growth dynamics, before analyzing how innovative entrepreneurs enhance macro-economic productivity and spur economic growth and development. The chapter closes with a summary of evidence about the two-way relationship between entrepreneurship and the business cycle.
