The last convulsive decade, withexpansionary and recessionary economic cycles, offers a good opportunity to study how economic cyclesaffect the propensity of becomingan entrepreneur and, in turn, to observe how entrepreneurial activity contributes to change (improvement) in the economy. Previous studies have analyzed the complicated endogenous relationship between entrepreneurship andeconomic growth, but thesestudies haveexamined the countries’ performance under a static view. This special issuefocuses on analyzing complexentrepreneurial behavior from a sub-national perspective (examining several regionsin the Spanish autonomous communities) and a dynamic view (using data from several years), which adds rigor and valuable knowledge to this research field.
