The Entrepreneurship Database is a unique source of comparable, cross-country data on new business registration aimed at facilitating a greater understanding of the dynamics of private enterprises around the world. The main Entrepreneurship Database indicator measures new business entry density, which is the number of newly registered firms, in which ownership liability is limited to its investment, per calendar year, normalized by population.
The data can help answer such questions as these:
•What are the trends in new firm creation across regions and income groups?
•What is the relationship between entrepreneurship and the business environment and financial development?
•How much did the financial crisis affect entrepreneurial activity in the formal sector?
Data is provided on new business entry density, defined as the number of newly registered corporations per 1,000 working-age people (those ages 15–64). As in the World Bank’s annual Doing Business report, the units of measurement are private, formal sector companies with limited liability.
