Abstract

Scientific research in many fields of knowledge is conducted using cross sectional data. Cross-sectional data present a rich source of information, however is limited to track entrepreneurs over time. To overcome such limitation a pseudo panel data is constructed using data from the Spanish Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. An empirical example is presented analyzing the impact of informal networks upon entrepreneurs in Spain over time.

Keywords: Pseudo-panel, Spanish GEM data, entrepreneurs, informal networks
