Separate regressions are run for 63 provinces of Vietnam across the time period of 2005 to 2013. The key findings are that the growth gap between the rich and the poor regions still exists, and the strongest growth factor affecting provincial entrepreneurship growth is the market growth. There is evidence of spillover effects which implies that new firms and/or the development of a province's factors may generate new entrepreneurial opportunities not only for the province itself but also for the neighboring regions.born digitalmasters thesesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
