This paper aims to assess the evolution of two indices that analyze high-impact female entrepreneurship development: the Gender-Global Entrepreneu…
The Regional Application of the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index (Gedi)
This book presents some of Zoltán J.

Overall the findings suggest that controlling for other relevant factors, including actual gr…

Women entrepreneurs in Lithuania and Ukraine share many common features and problems; …
