Abstract

This work analyses the role of innovation at the country level in entrepreneurship survival for the EU-15, considering entrepreneurs as those who hire employees (i.e., employers). We estimate survival models to analyse duration as an entrepreneur, using microdata drawn from the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). As measures of innovation, we use different aggregated indicators at the country level: technological effort; results of scientifictechnical activity, and education distribution of the population. Our results suggest that country innovation activities play a crucial role in entrepreneurial survival prospects
