This special issue focuses upon novel ways to utilize the rich dataset
the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) project offers
entrepreneurship researchers. GEM started in 1999 examining conditions
for entrepreneurship in 10 countries. Over 60 countries have
participated in this yearly examination since then and the 2008
investigation include 42 countries. GEM measures conditions for
entrepreneurship, its manifestations and some conditions for
entrepreneurship among a representative cohort of the population. This
allows investigations of entrepreneurship in numerous ways. The GEM
website (www.gemconsortium.org <http://www.gemconsortium.org/>) list
some articles already published using GEM data, and it provides GEM raw
data from 1999 to 2004 that everyone could use. The interested
researcher can access younger data by linking to GEM researchers
(contact information to be found at GEMs homepage).
By inviting research exploring and approaching GEM data in novel ways,
we expect the GEM project to evolve and gain increased momentum by the
agendas developed in this special issue.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Comparing conditions for entrepreneurship among countries
* Investigating changing conditions for entrepreneurship over time
* Regional differences
* Institutional structures, human and social capital facilitating or
blocking entrepreneurship
* Longitudinal studies following the same respondents over time
* Investigations linking GEM data to other data sources
* Links between the individual level (the entrepreneur) and society
(i.e. growth in GDP)
* Arrangement for funding the entrepreneurial venture, business angles
* Nascent entrepreneurship and business ownership
* Corporate entrepreneurship and independent start-up
* Gender or ethnicity issues
* Start-up strategies (i.e. level of export, innovation, size or industry)
* Data quality issues
