Entrepreneurship policy and targets: the case of a low absorptive capacity region

Abstract: Despite the existence of a positive relationship between new firm creation and economic growth, a certain controversy still exists regarding the need for the public promotion of entrepreneurship. The recent surge of entrepreneurship policies encompasses a wide variety of instruments and goals that are mainly designed and implemented at a regional or local level, which allows for a more efficient use of public resources. Case studies are therefore a useful approach to assessing "good practices" in entrepreneurs… Show more

“…Given its share in the gross value added (8 %), for each 1 % that KIBS contributes to the economy's added value, it provides: (i) 3.7 % of the generation of innovation; (ii) 1 % of the absorption of innovation; and (iii) 2.2 % as the overall contribution, taking into account both generation and absorption (see table 3). The contribution of the manufacturing sector to the total generation of innovation is similar to that estimated for KIBS (30.8 %); however, its absorption capacity (Mas-Verdú et al 2009; Park 2011) is much higher, reaching 36.5 % of the system. For every 1 % contributed by manufacturing to the gross value added, KIBS contribute to 2 % of the generated innovation and to 2.4% of the absorbed innovation (see table 3).…”

“…Siguiendo los principios del DEL, todo aquello que limite la capacidad de los empresarios locales, su capacidad innovadora y su capacidad para combinar los factores productivos de la manera más eficaz y eficiente posible con el objetivo de ser suficientemente productivos para competir en los mercados, será constituyente de una barrera al emprendimiento (Alburquerque, 2003). De esta manera se distinguen barreras político-administrativas (Van Stel, Storey & Thurik, 2007;Más-Verdú, Baviera-Puig & Martínez-Gómez, 2009;Aghion, 2011;Kerr & Nanda, 2011), barreras derivadas del entorno macroeconómico (Audretsch & Acs, 1994, Kantis et al, 2002Klapper & Richmond, 2011), barreras derivadas del entorno socio-cultural Aldrich & Zimmer, 1986;Thornton, Ribeiro-Soriano & Urbano, 2011) y en el contexto latinoamericano también destaca la inseguridad ciudadana Banco Mundial, 2011a;IDB, 2014). Pese a la importancia de esta última barrera, resulta interesante la falta de estudios que expliquen el impacto de los conflictos violentos en el nivel microeconómico o en el emprendimiento .…”

“…A este respecto, aún existen incógnitas sobre la relación entre las políticas gubernamentales y el emprendimiento (Acs & Szerb, 2007), pero lo que queda claro es que existe una relación muy fuerte entre ambos (Más-Verdú et al, 2009;Minniti, 2008Minniti, , 2013.…”
