Relação entre empreendedorismo e desenvolvimento econômico nos municípios paranaenses em 2010

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the relationship between the indicators that express economic development and entrepreneurship in the municipalities of Paraná in the year 2010. The theoretical framework discusses the concepts of entrepreneurship, economic development and economic development theories that involve entrepreneurship. Methodologically, in order to relate the indicators, data from the 2010 Demographic Census prepared by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística Brazilian (IBGE) and the Instituto Paranaense de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (IPARDES) were used. A simple regression was performed to know the entrepreneurship relationship (Rate of entrepreneurship) with economic development (IDH, GINI, PIB per capita and Unemployment rate). Allied to this, the profile of the self-employed was built (a proxy used to express the entrepreneurship of Paraná), the purpose was to characterize the entrepreneur and identify possible conjunctures that would support the quantitative results of the research. The main result of this study shows that entrepreneurship has a relevant impact on unemployment, the higher the entrepreneurship rates in the municipalities of Paraná, the lower the rates of unemployment. Nevertheless, entrepreneurship did not have a significant effect on economic development when analyzed the relationship between entrepreneurship and the other indicators mentioned above. This refers to a reflection on the established relationship between entrepreneurship and economic development, in which it is evident that entrepreneurship generated by necessity, that is, that generated for subsistence does not contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the population. In this sense, it is concluded that it is necessary to build public policies that foster entrepreneurship by opportunity, aiming mainly at the development of businesses that generate innovation and paradigm changes, as well as actions that lead entrepreneurs to cooperation in the purpose of improving capacity Competitive.
