Abstract

Abstract The world economy has been developing at a very fast pace for the past few decades, growth which is commonly linked to the development of technology. Innovative ideas become successful when certain individuals decide to face the multiple risks that appear when transforming these ideas in to reality. The vast literature on entrepreneurship has shown that startups are important players in driving the economy on an ascending path. It is no surprise that highly developed countries, such as USA, Israel or Singapore have governmental programs which stimulate startup creation. More recently, the Romanian government has also joined in on spending money to offer entrepreneurs the chance to create successful businesses. Using spatial panel data on the 41 counties of Romania and the capital, Bucharest, on the period 2011-2016, this study highlights some significant dependencies between the survival of startups (for a period of 3 years) and other factors – both internal and external. The analysis shows that the aforementioned survival is clearly and positively impacted by Foreign Direct Investment, the share of fresh businesses in the total business environment and the number of immigrants with a permanent residence in the respective counties. Moreover, there are significant spatial effects occurring between neighboring counties. These results suggest that foreign investors could benefit from bringing their capital in Romania, as startups greatly contribute to the specialization of markets, and moreover, spillover effects present suggest that a smaller number of investment centers can be highly effective in their regions.
外商直接投资对促进创业的重要性——以罗马尼亚为例的区域研究
在过去的几十年里,世界经济一直以非常快的速度发展,这种增长通常与技术的发展联系在一起。当某些人决定面对在将这些想法转化为现实时出现的多重风险时,创新的想法就会成功。关于创业的大量文献表明,创业公司是推动经济走上上升道路的重要参与者。毫不奇怪,美国、以色列或新加坡等高度发达国家都有刺激创业的政府项目。最近,罗马尼亚政府也投入资金,为企业家提供创建成功企业的机会。利用2011-2016年罗马尼亚41个县和首都布加勒斯特的空间面板数据,本研究强调了创业公司的生存(为期3年)与其他因素(包括内部和外部因素)之间的一些重要依赖关系。分析表明,上述生存明显受到外国直接投资、新企业在总商业环境中所占比例以及在各自国家拥有永久居留权的移民数量的积极影响。相邻县域间存在显著的空间效应。这些结果表明,外国投资者可以从将资金引入罗马尼亚中受益,因为初创企业极大地促进了市场的专业化,此外,目前的溢出效应表明,较少数量的投资中心可以在其所在地区发挥高效作用。
