Measuring Entrepreneurial Businesses: Current Knowledge and Challenges: National Bureau of Economic Research Studies in Income and Wealth, cartea 75

Editat de John Haltiwanger, Erik Hurst, Javier Miranda, Antoinette Schoar
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 sep 2017
Start-ups and other entrepreneurial ventures make a significant contribution to the US economy, particularly in the tech sector, where they comprise some of the largest and most influential companies. Yet for every high-profile, high-growth company like Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Google, many more fail. This enormous heterogeneity poses conceptual and measurement challenges for economists concerned with understanding their precise impact on economic growth.
           
Measuring Entrepreneurial Businesses brings together economists and data analysts to discuss the most recent research covering three broad themes. The first chapters isolate high- and low-performing entrepreneurial ventures and analyze their roles in creating jobs and driving innovation and productivity. The next chapters turn the focus on specific challenges entrepreneurs face and how they have varied over time, including over business cycles. The final chapters explore core measurement issues, with a focus on new data projects under development that may improve our understanding of this dynamic part of the economy.

Recenzii

"The volume editors and coauthors demonstrate the necessity of taking heterogeneity into account in order to understand entrepreneurship, and they showcase a wide range of relevant data, including data from national statistical agencies, administrative data sources, private sources, and linked multi-source data. . . . Collectively, the chapters in the book offer a deeper look at entrepreneurship as well as inspiration for future researchers grappling with the trade-offs of measurement."
