Abstract
This discussion paper resulted in a publication in 'The Review of Economics and Statistics' (2012). Volume 94, issue 4, pages 1143-1156. We study the cyclical pattern of entrepreneurial activity. Results across 22 OECD countries for the period 1972-2007 show that entrepreneurial activity is a leading indicator of the business cycle in a Granger-causality sense. This contradicts existing theoretical hypotheses which predict that entrepreneurship is pro-cyclical or not cyclical. We discuss possible causes and implications of this finding.
