Este estudo visa identificar e analisar os efeitos dos fatores determinantes institucionais e
socioeconĆ³micos na atividade empreendedora. AlĆ©m disso, pretende preencher uma
lacuna existente na literatura respeitante Ć falta de estudos sobre as relaƧƵes entre
atividade empreendedora, corrupĆ§Ć£o, liberdade de comĆ©rcio, crescimento econĆ³mico,
inovaĆ§Ć£o, investimento direto estrangeiro e desemprego, tanto em contexto de paĆses
desenvolvidos, como de paĆses em desenvolvimento. A abordagem empĆrica utiliza dados
anuais em painel para o perĆodo compreendido entre 2003 e 2018, para uma amostra de
21 paĆses. O modelo de regressĆ£o de quantis, relevou ser apropriado para lidar com esta
amostra. As evidĆŖncias empĆricas apontam no sentido de que, a corrupĆ§Ć£o, a liberdade de
comĆ©rcio, o rĆ”cio entre a inovaĆ§Ć£o e o crescimento, e o investimento direto estrangeiro
tĆŖm uma influĆŖncia positiva e significativa sobre a atividade empreendedora. Em relaĆ§Ć£o
ao desemprego, deteta-se uma influĆŖncia negativa e significativa sobre a atividade
empreendedora. Tendo em linha de conta as evidĆŖncias empĆricas agora obtidas,
recomenda-se um maior controlo por parte dos governos para melhorar o ambiente
institucional dos paĆses, bem como a criaĆ§Ć£o de novos incentivos para estimular a
investigaĆ§Ć£o e desenvolvimento tendentes ao registo de patentes por via de iniciativas
empresarias.
This study aims to identify and analyze the effects of determinant factors: institutional and socio-economic; on the total entrepreneurial activity. Additionally, it aims to fill a gap in the literature, regarding the lack of studies about the relationships among entrepreneurial activity, corruption, commercial freedom, economic growth, innovation, inward foreign direct investment and unemployment, applied both to developed countries and developing countries. The empirical analysis uses annual panel data for the period 2003-2018 for a sample of 21 developed and developing countries. The quantile regression model revealed to be adequate to deal with this sample. The empirical evidence points out that corruption, commercial freedom, ratio between innovation and economic growth and inward foreign direct investment have a positive and significant influence on entrepreneurial activity. For the unemployment, it is detected a negative and significant influence on entrepreneurial activity. Bearing in mind the empirical evidence now obtained, greater control by the governments is recommended to improve the nation's institutional environment, as well as the creation of new incentives in order to stimulate research and development activities aimed at registering patents through entrepreneurial initiatives.
