Entrepreneurial Intentions In Russia: An Empirical Study
Abstract
The article investigates entrepreneurial intentions factors in Russia. The empirical analysis is based on Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data. GEM methodology for survey uses a multistage, stratified, probabilistic sample of 2029 respondents to represent the adult population of Russia between the ages 18 and 64 years. The models of binary choice are applied to reveal the factors of entrepreneurial intentions. The results demonstrate that it is hard to predict intentions on the base of socio-demographic characteristics. At the same time perception of having appropriate knowledge and skills to undertake entrepreneurial activity, individual’s acquaintance with someone who has opened a business, the previous entrepreneurial experience and assessment of environmental favorability for starting up a business in the locality where the respondent lives determine entrepreneurial intentions in Russia.
