Immigrant entrepreneurship: An International Comparison

Abstract:

The actual triple-C, as a combination of economic and financial crises, in addition to the crisis in cbkp_redibility of economic policy, has fostered North-North and South-North immigration. The objective of this work is to determine the dimension of immigrant's entrepreneurship, according to their recipient countries being factor driven, efficiency driven, and innovation driven economies. We demonstrate that efficiency driven nations are characterized by moderate demographic growth and immigrant's entrepreneurial activity along with a very discrete immigration, while the innovation driven nations are defined by a negative demographic growth and discrete immigrant's entrepreneurial activity along with an important reception of immigrants.
