Description: This study investigated the determinants of business creation as a measure of entrepreneurship in European cities. It examined supply- and demandside elements, actual and equilibrium rates of entrepreneurship, institutions and culture. These components were characterized using a dataset consisting of 21 indicators drawn from 184 cities in 20 European countries during the years 1999-2010. The study found that city size, self-employment, and tertiary education have a significant and positive impact on the number of new businesses registered. The implications of these findings are discussed in view of the European Commission's Small Business Act, which provides guidelines for the conception and implementation of entrepreneurship policies in the European Union. This paper's main contribution lies in the differentiation of factors that are context-specific (e.g., city-size) and others that can be influenced by policy (e.g., tertiary education).
