Abstract

Resumen:La formación y consolidación de empresas constituye un elemento clave para lograr la transformación social y económica de Colombia. Muestra de esta hipótesis, son el creciente número de trabajos académicos y políticas encaminadas a fomentar la actividad emprendedora en el país y sus regiones. Por tanto, se quiere contrastar lo observado en la literatura aplicado al caso de Medellín Área Metropolitana para el ano 2009, con el fin de aportar a la discusión sobre los determinantes y políticas de creación y fortalecimiento de empresas. De esta forma, dadas unas características socioeconómicas de los individuos y la región se quiere conocer cuál es probabilidad de que una persona sea empresaria, independiente formal, empleada o independiente informal, siendo el primer estado aquel que genera mayor efecto en el crecimiento y desarrollo de la región. Para ello, se utilizan tres modelo de elección discreta, tales como logit y probit multinomial, y logit binario secuencial, que permiten observar que la educación, uso de tecnologías de información y telecomunicaciones, y el capital financiero son variables que más contribuyen en la probabilidad de ser empresario.Abstract:The formation and consolidation of businesses is a key element in achieving social and economic transformation of Colombia.
