Institutions and “entrepreneurship” in northern Spain, 1885-2010
Entrepreneurship: the entrepreneur, the business function and the creation of companies
JOSEBA DE LA TORRE, MARIO GARCÍA-ZÚÑIGA
The first objective of the study is to build a quantitative indicator of business creation on a regional and long-term scale. More specifically, we have chosen to focus on the study of entrepreneurship in the north of Spain, a geography that encompasses at least three dynamics of growth and development that are well differentiated at the provincial level (in their structural components and in their temporal sequence), from the end of the 19th century until 2010.
