In September 2006, the
OECD launched an Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme (EIP) to collect
internationally-comparable statistics on entrepreneurship and its
determinants. The aim of the project was to develop a list of indicators,
standard definitions and concepts, such that the long-term delivery of
statistics in this area could be guaranteed. In 2007, a formal partnership
was agreed between the OECD and Eurostat to take forward the EIP. The
challenge faced by the EIP is to provide data that not only allows
policy-makers and academics to understand better the rate and types of
entrepreneurial activity, but also the outcomes and impact of
entrepreneurship, especially in terms of the creation of wealth, employment
and productivity gains. |
