Empreendedorismo e contexto econômico : um estudo empírico no estado de Alagoas

Abstract

This work is an adaptation of a study carried out at the State University of Rio Grande do Norte, entitled “Entrepreneurship, Economic Growth and Unemployment: An empirical study in the State of Rio Grande do Norte” by Glória Ramos, Willy Albuquerque, Herica Ribeiro and José Souza, published in 2020, which unlike the above, seeks to analyze a positive effect between the rate of economic growth and unemployment in the State of Alagoas, which are determined by need and opportunity respectively. The applied methodology is based on the exploratory bibliographical review, through data extracted from the 2010 IBGE census, referring to the 102 municipalities of the State, and from that, these data were electronically tabulated in Microsoft® Excel 2019 software spreadsheets, and later analyzed in the Stata 14 software. The results found confirm the hypothesis that there is indeed a positive relationship between the rate of entrepreneurship and economic development in general, with unemployment. That is, as the need and opportunity grow, due to the lack of employment, consequently there is growth in entrepreneurial activities and in the economy of the region.
