Chapter Chapter 1 in Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index 2016, 2017, pp 1-2 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The Global Entrepreneurship Index provides a detailed look at the health of nations’ entrepreneurial ecosystems. We have developed an index methodology that links countries’ entrepreneurial framework conditions with individual-level entrepreneurial attitudes, abilities, and aspirations. Our composite index gives policymakers a tool for understanding the entrepreneurial strengths and weaknesses of their countries, thereby enabling them to implement policies that foster productive entrepreneurship. The GEI is designed to help governments harness the power of entrepreneurship for sustainable economic development.
