Abstract: The emergence of endogenous growth models has attributed to entre-preneurship the role of one of the most important factors deciding about economic development dynamics. Research has been concentrated on the regional aspects of economic growth. Theoretical hypothesis about the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic growth had to be sup ported by economic reality. In consequence many empirical studies have been realized, mostly during last 10 years. Two main questions have been the object of empirical verification — has entrepreneurship a positive impact on economic development and if so, how strong is it and is the level of entrepreneurship dependent on the level of economic growth.
