Abstract: The main aim of the paper is to investigate the drivers of entrepreneurial intentions in Romania based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor database. Particularly, it examines the factors which drive the necessity, opportunity and mixed motives of entrepreneurship. Using four samples of data and logistic regressions, the paper identifies the most significant drivers of entrepreneurial intentions by motivational factors – necessity, opportunity, and mixed motive - and proposes some policy actions to stimulate entrepreneurship.
