We test a new model where the entrepreneurial decision is described as a process of successive engagement levels, i.e., as an entrepreneurial ladder. Five levels are distinguished using nearly 12,000 observations from the 2004 Flash Eurobarometer survey on Entrepreneurship covering the 25 European Union member states and the United States. The most surprising of the many results is that perception of lack of financial support is no obstacle for moving to a higher entrepreneurial engagement level whereas perceived administrative complexity is a significant obstacle. We also show that the effect of age on the probability of moving forward in the entrepreneurial process becomes negative after a certain age implying that if entrepreneurial engagements are not taken early enough in life they may well never be taken.

League tables of national competitiveness give an easily comparable ranking of the winners and losers of global economic competition. But they leave a number of questions unanswered. Why are the "poor" countries four times less productive than the "rich" ones? Why are some rich countries twice as productive as others? How important is human capital compared with other factors such as financial capital or infrastructures? Using empirical data from over 50 countries, this book shows how even small differences in a number of factors combine to boost or block productivity. Governments need such information to set priorities. Investors need it too, and two new rankings are proposed as alternatives to a simple comparison of industrial productivity.
