| Desription: | Longitudinal studies of early-stage entrepreneurial activity help us understand the causal effects of a variety of factors influencing the future outcomes of this activity. The aim of the project was to analyse various factors influencing birth and discontinuance of nascent and early-stage entrepreneurial activity. We gathered the data from 371 early-stage entrepreneurs that were first captured in the frame of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor project in 2011 and 2013. Entrepreneurs were interviewed in three to four subsequent waves in between 2012 and 2015 and asked questions regarding their entrepreneurial activity and its outcomes. We employed regression analyses to analyse the effects of various factors influencing outcomes of early-stage entrepreneurial activity. |
