The Economics of Entrepreneurship is an introductory, non-technical overview of what economics adds to our understanding of entrepreneurship. The author identifies issues that can resolved using economic analysis, presents the theoretical and empirical models that form the intellectual foundations of the economics of entrepreneurship, and reviews well-established theoretical contributions and empirical findings consistent with these models. The Economics of Entrepreneurship provides details of the salient theoretical and empirical approaches that have been applied to entrepreneurship. These details are provided in a deliberately non-technical way in order to make the book as accessible to as wide an audience as possible. References are given to more detailed technical treatments of the issues which the interested reader can pursue if they wish.
