Empreendedorismo e crescimento econômico: uma análise de vetores autorregressivos

Abstract

Entrepreneurship has the potential to be a strong engine for economic growth, however this impact on GDP has a lot of influence on the type of entrepreneurship that develops in a nation. Entrepreneurship that is linked to innovation, very common in developed countries, impacts the growth of the economy more robustly, it is entrepreneurs for opportunities. While entrepreneurship by necessity, common in less developed countries, impacts little or negatively the GDP. Entrepreneurship by necessity is more associated with unemployment and the lack of opportunities. In this dissertation, we sought, using a self-regressive vector model, to analyze the impact of entrepreneurship in Brazil over time and thus try to understand what types of entrepreneurships the country is developing. The Individual Microentrepreneurs, GDP, selfemployment and unemployment were used as variables. The results showed that in the short term these entrepreneurs increased economic growth, although after some periods this relationship became negative, showing that this type of entrepreneurship managed to capture a portion of entrepreneurs for opportunities.
