Within the institutional theory of North (1990, 2005), the objective of this study involves the analysis of the impact of economic and institutional factors, formal and informal, in the entrepreneurial activity of nations, particularly in Total Entrepreneurial Activity indicator (TEA). In order to evaluate the simultaneous influence of economic factors and institutional entrepreneurial activity in a number of countries through a multiple linear regression, we opted for the implementation of a cross-section model. The results show an inverse relationship expected between the TEA, GDP per capita and bureaucratic burden (number of days to formalize the entry of a new company in the business) and an inverse relationship, not expected between the TEA and fiscal freedom. The results also show a direct relationship expected between the TEA and the corporate autonomy against the state spending. Globally, by the inverse relationship between GDP per capita and TEA, the results show the prevalence of necessity entrepreneurship.
