2 I will talk about Eurobarometer Spain An example using the Eurbarometer 2004: Grilo, Thurik and van der Zwan, (Applied Economics, 2008)

3 The seven entrepreneurial engagement levels Have you started a business recently or are you taking steps to start one? “It never came to your mind" “No, you thought of it or had already taken steps to start a business but gave up" “No, but you are thinking about it" “Yes, you are currently taking steps to start a new business" “Yes, you have started or taken over a business in the last 3 years and still active" “Yes, you started or took over a business more than 3 years ago and still active" “No, you once started a business, but currently you are no longer an entrepreneur"

4 Actual and never considered (Eurobarometer)

5 Many covariates including Latent entrepreneurship Perception of administrative complexities Risk tolerance Perception of lack of sufficient information Perception of lack of financial support Demographics etc

6 Actual and latent entrepreneurship 2004 (Eurobarometer)

7 Perception of administrative complexities (Eurobarometer)

8 Risk tolerance (Eurobarometer)

9 Perception of lack of sufficient information (Eurobarometer)

10 Perception of lack of financial support (Eurobarometer)

11 Research program of DG enterprise jointly with EUR Multilevel Actual versus latent Seven engagement levels Topics –Two basic models –Developments over time –Eastern versus Western Europe versus US –Women –Dropouts –Necessity versus opportunity –Method and statistics

12 What do we do? different engagement levels7 individual data20,000 multi-level26 eclectic flavor8 of more

13 Determinants of entrepreneurship three giants (Schumpeter, Kirzner, Knight) economic theory (income choice) empirical literature our set-up

14 Theory of income choice Ability - entrepreneurial efficiency –Jovanovic, 1982 and 1994; Lucas, 1978; Murphy, Shleifer and Vishny, 1991; Holmes and Schmitz, 1990 and Lazear, 2004 Risk - risk attitudes –Kihlstrom and Laffont, 1979 and Parker, 1996 and 1997 Liquidity constraints - polymorphe –Lucas, 1978; Jovanovic, 1982; Evans and Jovanovic, 1989 and Hurst and Lusardi, 2004 Eclectic add-ons –Bates, 1990; Blanchflower, 2004; Blanchflower and Meyer, 1994; Blanchflower and Oswald, 1998; Blau, 1987; Douglas and Shepherd, 2002; Evans and Leighton, 1989 and 1990; Grilo and Irigoyen, 2005; Grilo and Thurik, 2005; Lin, Picot and Compton, 2000; Rees and Shah, 1986; Reynolds, 1997; Wagner, 2003 and Wit and van Winden, 1989

15 Empirical literature gender, age, educational attainment financial situation employment status experience minority, immigrant behavior family firm effects attitudes perceptions

16 Empirical literature gender, age, educational attainment financial situation employment status experience minority, immigrant behavior family firm effects attitudes (preference; risk tolerance) perceptions (adm. complexity; financial constraints)

17 An example using Eurobarometer 2004 Van der Zwan, Grilo, Thurik (Applied Economics, 2008) Aim –Disentangle the role of demographic and perception variables and of country specific effects given that the entrepreneurial decision is a process of successive engagement levels Explaining the entrepreneurial ladder –5 engagement levels –12,000 observations –26 countries –12 exogenous variables

18 Entrepreneurship is a process entrepreneurial ladder –steps: conception; gestation; infancy; adolescence; maturity; decline –one can jump or fall off –most don’t climb –climbing entails risks –the higher the more visible –one can climb down or climb again –the ladder industry is heavily regulated

19 The seven entrepreneurial engagement levels Have you started a business recently or are you taking steps to start one? “It never came to your mind" “No, you thought of it or had already taken steps to start a business but gave up" “No, but you are thinking about it" “Yes, you are currently taking steps to start a new business" “Yes, you have started or taken over a business in the last 3 years and still active" “Yes, you started or took over a business more than 3 years ago and still active" “No, you once started a business, but currently you are no longer an entrepreneur"

20 The five entrepreneurial engagement levels Have you started a business recently or are you taking steps to start one? “It never came to your mind" “No, you thought of it or had already taken steps to start a business but gave up" “No, but you are thinking about it" “Yes, you are currently taking steps to start a new business" “Yes, you have started or taken over a business in the last 3 years and still active" “Yes, you started or took over a business more than 3 years ago and still active" “No, you once started a business, but currently you are no longer an entrepreneur"

21 Ordered logit model y i * = X i ’β+ ε i y i * : unobserved propensity to become entrepreneur ε i : uncorrelated, logistic distribution, zero mean and variance π 2 /3 X i : vector of covariates, Same β across observations i and engagement levels

22 Model evaluation Heteroskedastic disturbance terms: variance of Parallel regression assumption (PRA) Violation: impacts of variables change with increasing level of engagement Heteroskedasticity PRA

23 Results (height of the steps) Thinkingtaking steps: ‘difficult’ Taking stepsyoung business: ‘easy’ Implication: support for the TEA concept (GEM)

24 Results (impact of covariates on engagement ladder) Gender (men): ‘helps’ move up Education: ‘helps’ move up Self-employed parents: ‘helps’ move up Risk tolerance: ‘helps’ move up Preference for SE: ‘helps’ move up (strong) Age: ‘helps’ move up iff ‘young enough’ Locus of control: no effect Perception financial support: no effect Perception administrative burden: ‘hinders’ move up Spain, (Portugal, France, Belgium): ‘hinders’ move up

25 Selected policy messages Results on age + aging society: urgency !! Administrative complexities: cut red tape and let them climb !! Think twice before spending tax payers’ money
