Chapter Chapter 5 in Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index 2014, 2015, pp 65-103 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we are concerned with methodological issues of building the global entrepreneurship and development index (GEDI). Index-building is a complex task that faces several potential pitfalls, starting with the vague and various definitions of a concept like entrepreneurship. We favor a complex perception of entrepreneurship and believe that this complexity requires a complex index, as opposed to the single measures often used.
