Abstract: | Applying a grounded-theory approach to analyzing the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data, we attempt to explain why
New Zealand exhibits only a moderate level of economic development despite its high level of entrepreneurship. By statistically
analyzing why 34 other countries in the 2005 GEM dataset exhibit small deviations from the classical quadratic curvilinear
relationship between entrepreneurship and economic development, we develop a better understanding of the entrepreneurial framework
conditions underlying New Zealand’s large deviation from this trend line. Based on our findings from the GEM data we make
policy recommendations that could aid in moving New Zealand (and other countries) closer toward the trend line and thus promote
economic development. |
