Entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial values and public policy in Argentina

Are government policies the main obstructer of entrepreneurial activity in Argentina?

While the quantity of entrepreneurship in Argentina is high, its quality is low, given the high proportion of informal and necessity entrepreneurs. Income is found to play a greater role in determining probability of becoming an entrepreneur than parental wealth; entrepreneurship is, however, transmitted inter-generationally. This paper describes Argentinean entrepreneurs’ characteristics, analyzes entrepreneurial values in society and finally summarizes the main policy obstacles faced by entrepreneurs and their effect on entrepreneurial activities.

Finally, this paper uses datasets from six surveys to describe entrepreneurship in Argentina, using panel data based on household surveys. The authors estimate the short and long-run effects of an increase in public employment on entrepreneurship, finding the effects to be negative and strong. Overall, the evidence suggests that changes in public policies and other areas are needed for Argentina to become an entrepreneurial economy.
