Entrepreneurship from the perspective of business incubators: a country-compared analysis

Abstract

Support for entrepreneurship through incubators enhances the economic development of countries. The objective of this research is to perform a comparative analysis of the evolution of incubators in seven countries (United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Ecuador). For the empirical study, official secondary data from Europe and Latin America are used in the 2013-2017 period. Using the ANOVA technique reveals the significant differences in the creation of the incubators. Applying factorial ANOVA three groups of countries are obtained that share similarities in the behavior when creating the incubators.
