• Resumen

  • Las bases del crecimiento económico de las economías occidentales han sido seriamente dañadas por la crisis actual. Algunas de las respuestas políticas pasan por la reactivación económica sobre la base de la promoción de la iniciativa empresarial. Si bien existe una abundante literatura sobre este aspecto, poca atención recibe el estudio de las formas societarias. Entre ellas, el empresariado colectivo, en general, y las cooperativas, en particular, tiene una especial relevancia a la luz de su mayor resistencia y flexibilidad en contextos de crisis como el actual. El objetivo del artículo es profundizar en el conocimiento del impacto de los factores que expliquen la dimensión del sector cooperativo utilizando como cuadro teórico los factores del crecimiento. La aportación del trabajo reside en su enfoque comparativo internacional, superando los enfoques microeconómicos del comportamiento empresarial, basado en datos de 29 países europeos en los años 2009-2010.
