Abstract

O empreendedorismo é frequentemente visto como um mecanismo capaz de impulsionar a atividade económica, com vista à convergência e ao desenvolvimento das regiões. A expetativa é a de que a criação de novos negócios ao estimular o desenvolvimento das regiões conduzirá a baixos níveis de pobreza regional. No entanto, a evidência empírica sobre este tópico é escassa, principalmente tendo como objeto de análise regiões de países desenvolvidos. Tendo por base os 278 municípios de Portugal Continental, recorrendo a uma análise estatística descritiva e estimações de regressão multivariáveis, concluímos que as regiões (sobretudo rurais) mais empreendedoras são regiões, em média, mais pobres. Tal resultado lança sérias dúvidas sobre a capacidade e eficácia de políticas recentes no domínio da criação de empresas, nomeadamente nas áreas rurais, para dinamizar economicamente essas regiões e quebrar o ciclo de pobreza que as caracterizam.
