Abstract

Currently, the economic effect of entrepreneurship research has been highly associated with opportunity entrepreneurship, while necessity entrepreneurship has a lower effect. This manuscript revisits the relationship between poverty and entrepreneurial activity, mainly necessity-driven, analyzed by Amoros and Cristi (2011). We hypothesize that countries with a high pursuit of entrepreneurial activities reduce poverty, even if necessity-motivated entrepreneurship is developed. We test our hypothesis using Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data and the UN-UNDP, Human Development Index from 2010-2019. Our results reconfirm that total and necessity-motivated early-stage entrepreneurship both, have a positive effect on countries' poverty reduction trends, especially in developing countries. We discuss the relevance of entrepreneurship activities on development beyond pure economic effects and highlight the importance of entrepreneurship in the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19, which is pushing more people into poverty situations. © 2021 World Scientific Publishing Company.

重新审视发展中国家的贫困和创业精神

目前，企业家精神研究的经济效应与机会企业家精神高度相关，而必要性企业家精神的效应较低。本文回顾了阿莫罗斯和克里斯蒂(2011)分析的贫困与创业活动之间的关系，主要是必需品驱动。我们假设，高度追求创业活动的国家可以减少贫困，即使需要驱动的创业精神得到了发展。我们使用2010-2019年全球创业监测数据和联合国开发计划署人类发展指数来检验我们的假设。我们的研究结果再次证实，总体创业和需求驱动型早期创业都对各国(尤其是发展中国家)的减贫趋势有积极影响。我们讨论了创业活动对发展的相关性，而不仅仅是单纯的经济影响，并强调了创业在新冠肺炎大流行形势下的重要性，这种形势正在将更多的人推向贫困境地。©2021世界科学出版公司。
