Relações de influência de indicadores macroeconômicos na propensão ao risco de empreender

The entrepreneurial activity is often cited as a key factor for the economic development of a country. Global Entrepreneurship Monitor reports and several researches show that the higher the economic development of a country, the lower the entrepreneurship rate and the population opportunities perception. Thus, this theoretical essay aims to investigate assumptions about how the relationship between macroeconomic indicators and population entrepreneurship variables may contribute to the risk propensity of a country. We carried out a bibliographic research about this topic in the Emerald Insight, Capes and ESBCOhost databases. We observed that there are no studies that relate all our seven proposed variables (GDP, HDI, unemployment rate, Total Early‐Stage Entrepreneurial Activity ‐ TEA, perception of opportunities, fear of failure and risk propensity), especially considering in multinational scale. Our study assumes theoretical assumptions among these variables, contributing to better targeting of public and private stakeholders on the business activity development.
