Authors: Dr. Rebecca Harding, Dr. Simon King, Professor Colin Williams, Angela Zvesper
Entrepreneurship data could be a key indicator of the success of neighbourhood renewal initiatives. It shows the extent to which economic regeneration encourages new businesses, and other factors that are likely to encourage people to start their own businesses.
The project aimed to identify sources on entrepreneurship and the informal economy and to provide a scoping study into the actual and potential sources of data and the suitability of such data for Neighbourhood Statistics purposes.
Definitions of entrepreneurship and the informal economy have been reviewed as well as the varying measurement methods that have been previously employed, along with current data sources and are presented in the report.
