What is Distribution of Income

The literature has traditionally focused on the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurial activity, adopting mainly two perspectives when addressing entrepreneurship: empirical studies focusing on the behaviour of companies, and studies that consider entrepreneurship as a factor promoting the achievement of economic policy objectives. Following Schumpeter, innovation is a key source of value creation, generating growth in companies and the economy as a whole. But it is also important to remember the feedback effects generated in this process. This chapter analyses the relationship among three variables: entrepreneurship, innovation, and value creation, as well as the subsequent feedback effects. The theoretical aspects are considered and an empirical analysis is developed for the case of some European countries.
