An Econometrical Analysis of Entrepreneurship Determinants in Polish Voivodeships in the Years 2004–2013
Journal Title: Dynamic Econometric Models - Year 2015, Vol 15, Issue
Abstract
This article presents research results and describes and clarifies differences in a level of the entrepreneurship index observed between Polish voivodeships in the period from 2004 to 2013. The expected results were confirmed with the fixed effect (FE)/random effect (RE) panel data model. The analysis showed that the level of entrepreneurship varies depending on a voivodeship, and that this differentiation is structural and permanent. The applied model also confirmed the expected determinants of entrepreneurship.
