Abstract

Cilj rada je istražiti razinu, i povezanost između ekonomskih sloboda i poduzetništva u novim zemljama članicama Europske unije. Za potrebe rada, a za određivanje razine ekonomske slobode, koristili su se podaci Indeks ekonomskih sloboda koje svake godine izdaju The Heritage Foundation i The Wall Street Journal i indeks Ekonomske slobode svijeta prema istraživačkoj ustanovi The Fraser Institute. Razina poduzetničke aktivnosti dobivena je kroz podatke istraživanja Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, te su se koristili i podaci Eurostata u svrhu prikaza realnog BDP-a, stope novootvorenih poduzeća, stope preživljavanja i stope zatvorenih poduzeća. Analiza postojeće literature i korištenih podataka je pokazala da u većinu slučajeva razina ekonomske slobode utječe na poduzetničku aktivnost te da slobode treba poticati kako bi se stvorilo što bolje okruženje za razvoj poduzetništva.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper is to explore the level and connection between economic freedom and entrepreneurship in the new Member States of the European Union. For the purpose of the paper, and to determine the level of economic freedom, data were used: The Index of Economic Freedom issued annually by The Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal and the Index of Economic Freedom of the World according to the research institution The Fraser Institute. The level of entrepreneurial activity was obtained through data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor survey, and Eurostat data were also used to show real GDP, the rate of newly opened companies, survival rates and closed business rates. Analysis of the existing literature and used data has shown that in most cases the level of economic freedom affects entrepreneurial activity and that freedoms should be encouraged in order to create the best possible environment for the development of entrepreneurship.
