Abstract:

A new index of entrepreneurship measure based on M-quantile regression methods is introduced. This

index allows meaningful comparison of the entrepreneurial performances. The new method is illustrated

using the Kauffman Firm Survey, a study of new businesses in the United States. A comparative analysis

between this index and a classical index obtained with Data Envelopment Analysis is performed. Using

this index, possible determinants of entrepreneurship are investigated applying beta regression.
