Abstract

El objetivo del presente estudio consiste en analizar el crecimiento empresarial en la eurorregión ibérica denominada EUROACE durante el periodo 2007-2015. Concretamente, analizamos qué tipo de empresas son las que tienen mayor potencial de crecimiento y qué medidas públicas son las que se deben tomar para facilitar su desarrollo y, de este modo, dinamizar la economía de la eurorregión y crear empleo. Para ello, contrastamos un modelo de regresión dinámico empleando el método generalizado de los momentos en datos de panel. Los principales resultados obtenidos nos indican que las empresas medianas son las que favorecen el crecimiento empresarial y el desarrollo económico de la eurorregión independientemente del efecto país. The aim of this study is to analyze business growth in the Iberian Euro-region called EUROACE during the 2007-2015 period. Specifically, we analyze which type of companies are those that have the greatest growth potential and which public measures are the ones that must be taken to facilitate their development and, in this way, boost the economy of the Euro-region and create employment. To that end, we contrast a dynamic regression model using the generalized method of moments in panel data. Our results indicate that medium-sized companies are those that favor business growth and the economic development of the Euro-region regardless of the country effect.
