entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial capital, economic growth, indicatorsAbstract
The article makes a critical analysis of the theoretical and empirical work on the relationship between entrepreneurial capital and economic growth. For this, a review of the entrepreneurship literature between 2004 and 2014 is carried out; based on the research questions on the impact of entrepreneurial capital on economic growth and the conceptualization and modes of operationalization of entrepreneurial capital, based on ten international indicators. The article suggests that entrepreneurial capital has a positive impact on economic growth, which is very sensitive to diversity, ambiguity and insufficiency of the different ways of operating it.
