An empirical analysis of the Greek innovation activities

This paper analyses the framework, the obstacles, the determinant factors and furthermore the role of females in Greek entrepreneurship. Apart from presenting the empirical results relying on the analysis of the data collected by the survey we performed on the Greek enterprises, we use the collected variables in an econometric formulation adopting logistic regression. So we extract the associated probabilities (Relative Risks) for implementing innovations. Specifically we find that the odds of implementing innovations are much higher for firms having an increase of more than 10% of its turnover and for firms making exports and higher for firms having a higher average product life as well as a high percentage of female workers.
