Resumo: The main objective of this paper is to understand under what circumstances a government should focus on procedural or monetary policies to foster entrepreneurial entry. To do this, we measure entrepreneurship by the entry density of new companies, which counts formally registered entrepreneurs only. However, we also control the effect on opportunity and necessity-driven entrepreneurship rates, which include entrepreneurs of all stages and sectors. Procedural and monetary policies are represented by time and cost to start a business respectively. The variety of control variables used in literature is approached by aggregating explanatory variables from 16 studies, resulting in 44 variables of which 8 are used in the regression analysis. For the empirical analysis, we use country and year fixed effects with country-clustered standard errors. We find a stronger positive impact for lowering cost to start a business, especially in countries with high rates of necessity-driven entrepreneurs or countries which did not belong to the lowest third in cost or time to start a business. However, the findings also suggest, that these policies do not incentivize non-entrepreneurs to engage in entrepreneurship, but rather attract informally operating entrepreneurs to register their business.

Para isso, medimos o empreendedorismo através da entrada de novas companhias no mercado, considerando apenas empreendedores formalmente registrados. Contudo, também verificamos o efeito da oportunidade e necessidade no índice de empreendedorismo, o que inclui empreendedores em todas fases e setores. Políticas procedimentais e monetárias são representadas pelo tempo e pelo custo para começar um negócio, respectivamente. A pluralidade de variáveis de controle utilizada na literatura é abordada pela conjugação de variáveis explicativas de 16 estudos, resultando em 44 variáveis, das quais 8 são utilizadas na análise de regressão. Para a análise empírica, utilizamos efeitos fixos por país e por ano com desvios-padrão agrupados em países. Encontramos um forte impacto positivo para reduzir os custos para começar um negócio, especialmente em países com alto índice de empreendedores impulsionados pela necessidade ou países que não pertenciam ao terço mais baixo de preço ou tempo para iniciar um negócio. Todavia, as conclusões também sugerem que essas políticas não incentivam não-empreendedores a se envolverem no empreendedorismo, mas sim atraem empresários que atuam informalmente no mercado a registrarem seus negócios.Costa, Cláudia Isabel de SousaVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaSiegert, Bernhard Martin2017-08-04T10:54:14Z2017-07-2520172017-07-25T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/22764TID:201725290enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:29:01Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/22764Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:18:55.913303Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
