Abstract

GEDI (Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index) offers a measure of the quality and scale of the firm formation process in the most important countries in the world. It combines both individual and country level data to offer policy-makers a tool to understand the entrepreneurial strengths and weaknesses of their economies and to implement policies to support productive entrepreneurship. GEDI is a three-component index that takes into account the different aspects of entrepreneurship. All the three components, called “sub-indexes”, are complex measures themselves that include various characteristics of entrepreneurial attitudes, entrepreneurial actions and entrepreneurial aspirations. In this paper we review the book “GEDI, Global Entrepreneurship & Development Index” performing a regression analysis between GDP and GEDI for North Africa countries and for Italy. - L’indice GEDI (Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index) offre una misura della qualità e della dimensione del processo di formazione delle imprese nei maggiori paesi del mondo. L’indice offre ai decisori uno strumento per individuare i punti di forza e di debolezza delle loro economie, consentendo così di implementare politiche a sostegno dell’imprenditorialità. GEDI è un indice formato da tre componenti, che tiene conto dei diversi aspetti dell’imprenditorialità, tre misure complesse che comprendono varie caratteristiche di attitudini, azioni e aspirazioni imprenditoriali. In questo lavoro la revisione del libro “Gedi, Global Entrepreneurship & Development Index” viene svolta eseguendo un’analisi di regressione tra il PIL e GEDI per i paesi del Nord Africa e per l’Italia.
