Abstract
This exploratory study focuses on the convention from nascent to actual entrepreneurship and the role of entry barriers in this process. Evidence is found for a strong conversion from nascent to actual entrepreneurship. Also positive effects are found on entrepreneurial activity rates of labour flexibility and tertiary enrollment and a negative effect of social expenditure.
