This course addresses fundamental questions regarding entrepreneurship and economic development. One of the key drivers of economic development is the process of entrepreneurship: the identification, evaluation and pursuit of opportunities for innovation. We will explore why entrepreneurship flourishes in certain contexts and why it may not thrive in others. Additionally, we will examine strategies to foster entrepreneurship and its role in enhancing sustainable development. By combining microeconomics and macroeconomics perspectives, we will analyze the emergence of innovation and entrepreneurship and how they are enabled and constrained by top-down policies and other systemic and framework conditions. These conditions include formal institutions, culture, leadership, talent, knowledge, finance, networks, intermediaries, infrastructure, and demand.
