    Este estudio evalúa la influencia de las instituciones en la probabilidad que tienen mujeres y hombres de ser emprendedores durante la reciente crisis económica europea. Nos aproximamos a aquellas instituciones que afectan las decisiones emprendedoras a través del valor post-materialista, el nivel educativo y la tasa de desempleo. Usando datos del World Values Survey (WVS) y World Development Indicators (WDI) en el período 2011-2013, mostramos a través de modelos Logit que las instituciones (nivel educativo y la tasa de desempleo) ejercen un efecto en la probabilidad de que mujeres y hombres se conviertan en emprendedores. Regresiones similares se realizaron para aquellos individuos en países de Europa Central y Oriental. Esta distinción podría sugerir que estos últimos pueden que no sean empujados por el desempleo, mientras que los primero sí. Diferentes políticas de apoyo son discutidas.

    This study evaluates the influence of institutions on the probability to become a woman and man entrepreneur during the recent European economic crisis. We approach institutional factors affecting entrepreneurial decisions through a post-materialist value, educational level and unemployment rate.

    Using data from the World Values Survey (WVS) and World Development Indicators (WDI) in the period 2011-2013, we show through Logit models that institutions (educational level and unemployment rate) exert an effect on the probability of women and men becoming entrepreneurs. Similar regressions were performed for those individuals in Central versus Eastern European countries. This distinction might suggest that the latter might not be pushed by unemployment, while the former do. Different supportive policies are discussed.
