Abstract: (french)
Cet article analyse la relation entre l'entrepreneuriat et la croissance économique pour un panel de pays développés et en développement au cours de la période 1990-2004, ainsi que l'importance du capital social dans la relation entre l'entrepreneuriat et la croissance économique. Notre étude sera effectuée en utilisant la méthode des données de panel statique. Les principaux résultats de cette étude sont, d'abord, le niveau du capital social et l'entrepreneuriat sont significativement et positivement corrélés, d'autre part, un niveau élevé de capital social a aussi un effet indirect sur la croissance économique par son effet sur l'activité entrepreneuriale. Ainsi, cet article se propose d'élaborer des éléments de réponses théoriques et empiriques à l'effet d'un environnement institutionnel sain et d'un capital social adéquat sur le renforcement de l'activité entrepreneuriale qui aurait des effets positifs sur l'investissement et la croissance économique.
