Abstract

This article aims to analyze the impact of start-up activities on entrepreneurship in developing countries, taking Cameroon as an example. To this end, we conducted logistic regression on a sample of 614 entrepreneurs drawn from the CRDI database collected in 2014. The results show that, contrary to the existing literature, most activities in Cameroon have a negative impact on entrepreneurial creation due to the presence of individual and spatial heterogeneity. More precisely, at almost all sales levels; the results show a highly significant negative relationship between formalization and entrepreneurial launch. In light of these results, we recommend that policymakers and organizations responsible for promoting entrepreneurship thoroughly review the process of business formalization in Cameroon and review the content of training and education to provide modules related to business creation.
