Abstract:
The paper presents two methodologically advanced projects in the field of entrepreneurship – Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED). Both of them were created as an answer to the need for obtaining high-quality empirical material that could be the base for international comparisons and longitudinal analyses. Both projects also have an advantage over official statistics, namely full comparability and possibility of in-depth insight into motives, attitudes, behaviors and aspirations of entrepreneurs. In the paper a comparison of methodologies of projects is presented. I also show exemplary possibilities of creating new knowledge based on empirical data gathered in the projects and assess how they answer the identified research needs. Finally, the strengths and future perspectives of the projects are discussed.
