Abstract

Statistical analysis of the new creations of companies in Morocco over the period 2010-2014, of all legal statuses, do not reveals the influence of economic factors (unemployment rate, the price of commercial property), let alone the factors logistics infrastructures (the existence of a port, highway, distance from the road network, ..) in explaining disparities in terms of entrepreneurial dynamics between regions of Morocco. Moreover, even if the study focuses only on new creations capital companies (limited companies and limited liability companies). Only the variable "number of bank branches located" is significant in explaining the new creations by regions. It shows that the creation of businesses in Morocco depends more entrepreneurial culture diffused in the regions of the economic environment of these.
