This research aims to gauge the economic impact of the measures set out in the Strategic Infrastructure and Transport Plan, 2005–2020, as implemented by the Spanish government, on regional development. Contributing to regional development, this plan extends high capacity road networks and high performance rail networks in Spain between 2005 and 2020. To evaluate the plan, this research relies on an innovative technique based on panel data and accessibility indicators, which can quantify the plan's economic impact on regional development. Findings from the study provide a valuable tool for economic, geographic, and territorial assessments of policies implemented in the field of transport and infrastructure, whilst also pointing to guidelines for the design and development of further proposals and actions.

This study analyzes, from a multicountry perspective, the influence of the sociodemographic profiles of nascent and new entrepreneurs on their behavior. The panel data-based research approach combines temporal series and cross-sectional data to assess entrepreneurial activities across 22 countries with varying income levels. The results show that entrepreneurs' characteristics influence entrepreneurial behavior significantly and positively, in the following order: previous experience of the founder, age, and education. These findings suggest valid recommendations for stimulating entrepreneurship, both for enterprising business founders and for the institutions responsible for designing economic and regional development policies. Santrauka Straipsnyje pristatomų tyrimų rezultatai apima sociodemografinių veiksnių įtakos naujai kuriamam verslui ir jo aplinkai analizę. Tyrimas buvo atliktas 22 valstybėse. Jo rezultatai rodo, kad tam tikros individualios asmens verslumo savybės turi teigiamą įtaką paties verslo organizavimui, pavyzdžiui, ankstesnė verslininko patirtis, amžius ir išsilavinimas. Straipsnio autoriai pateikia rekomendacijas, susijusias su verslumo skatinimu, jos turės įtakos ne tik ekonominei, bet ir regioninei vystymosi politikai. Reikšminiai žodžiai: verslumas,sociodemografinės charakteristikos,elgesys,metodologija
