Abstract

Audretsch D. B. and Keilbach M. (2004) Entrepreneurship capital and economic performance, Regional Studies 38 , 949-959. The neoclassical model of the production function, as applied by Solow when building the neoclassical model of growth, linked labour and capital to output. More recently, Romer and others have expanded the model to include measures of knowledge capital. This paper introduces a new factor, entrepreneurship capital, and links it to output in the context of a production function model. It explains what is meant by entrepreneurship capital and why it should influence economic output. A production function model including several different measures of entrepreneurship capital is then estimated for German regions. The results indicate that entrepreneurship capital is a significant and important factor shaping output and productivity. The results suggest a new direction for policy that focuses on instruments to enhance entrepreneurship capital. Audretsch D. B. et Keilbach M. (2004) Le capital entrepreneurial et la performance économique, Regional Studies 38 , 949-959. Le modèle néo-classique de la fonction de production selon Solow, qui l'a employé dans le but de construire le modèle néo- classique de croissance, relie le travail et le capital au rendement. Plus récemment, Romer, parmi d'autres, a développé le modèle afin de comporter des mesures du capital de connaissance. Cet article cherche à présenter un noveau facteur, le capital entrepreneurial, et à le relier au rendement économique sur la base d'un modèle de fonction de production. D'abord, cet article cherche à expliquer la notion du capital entrepreneurial et les raisons pour lesquelles il pourrait influencer le rendement économqiue. Il s'ensuit une estimation d'un modèle de fonction de production qui se rapporte aux régions allemandes et qui utlise differents mesures du capital entrepreneurial. Les résultats montrent que le capital entrepreneurial excerce un effet positif et signifiant sur le rendement économique des regions. Ces résultats laissent supposer une nouvelle orientation pour la politique qui porte sur des outils destinés à augmenter le capital entrepreneurial. Audrestsch D. B. und Keilbach M. (2004) Entrepreneurship Kapital und wirtschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit, Regional Studies 38 , 949-959. Das neoklassische Modell der Produktionsfunktion, wie es von Solow zur Konstruktion des neoklassischen Wachstumsmodell benutzt wurde, verband Arbeit und Kapital mit wirtschaftlichem Output. In jüngster Zeit haben Romer und andere das Modell dahingehend erweitert, dass Wissenskapital einbezogen wird. In diesem Aufsatz wird ein weiterer Faktor eingeführt, der des Entrepreneurship Kapitals und die Produktionsfunktion mit diesem Faktor erweitert. Der Aufsatz erklärt zunächst, was mit Entrepreneurship Kapital gemeint ist, und inwiefern es den wirtschaftlichen Output einer Region beeinflussen kann. Es wird sodann ein Produktionsfunktionsmodell einschließlich mehrerer verschiedener Maße für Entrepreneurship Kapital für deutsche Regionen geschätzt. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass Entrepreneurship Kapital einen signifikanten und wichtigen Beitrag zur Beeinflussung des wirtschaftlichen Outputs der Regionen darstellt. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, neue Wege der Wirtschaftspolitik zu beschreiten, die sich auf Instrumente zur Erhöhung des Entrepreneurship Kapitals konzentrieren. Audretsch D. B. y Keilbach M. (2004) Capital entrepreneurial y comportamiento económico, Regional Studies 38 , 949-959. El modelo neoclásico de la función de producción, tal como ha sido aplicado por Solow para desarrollar el modelo neoclásico de crecimiento, vinculó trabajo y capital a producción. Más recientemente, Romer y otros han expandido el modelo para incluír medidas de capital intelectual. En este artículo nosotros introducimos un nuevo factor, el capital empresarial, y lo vinculamos a la producción en el contexto de un modelo de función de producción. Este artículo explica qué es a lo que nosotros nos referimos cuando hablamos de capital empresarial y por qué debería influír en la producción económica. A continuación se estima un modelo de función de producción que incluye varias medidas diferentes de capital empresarial para las regiones alemanas. Los resultados indican que el capital empresarial es un factor importante y significativo a la hora de determinar producción y productividad. Estos resultados sugieren una nueva dirección para las políticas que se centran en instrumentos dirigidos a aumentar el capital empresarial.
