Long abstract
The OECD Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme (EIP)
In September 2006, the OECD launched a new Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme (EIP) to build internationally comparable statistics on entrepreneurship and its determinants. The aim of the EIP is to create a durable, long-term programme of policy-relevant entrepreneurship statistics. As such, the work involves developing standard definitions and concepts and engaging countries and international Agencies in the collection of data. Importantly, Eurostat, the statistical agency of the European Commission, has now become a partner in this activity and the EIP has become a joint OECD-Eurostat Programme. |
