Resumo

Este trabajo estima la capacidad emprendedora de algunos países de América Latina y el Caribe a partir de la obtención de sus índices de productividad, para conocer cuáles son los factores determinantes en el emprendimiento. Se estimaron los Índices de Productividad de Malmquist, y para ello, se utilizó el Análisis Envolvente de Datos con rendimientos variables y orientación output; las variables empleadas fueron: la intención emprendedora, la tasa de actividad emprendedora, las oportunidades percibidas, las capacidades percibidas y la tasa de miedo al fracaso; las cuales se obtuvieron de la información del Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Los resultados revelan que la intención y la actividad emprendedora depende principalmente de las oportunidades y las capacidades percibidas, así como de la tasa de miedo al fracaso; por lo que, se evidencia que los países que tienen una mayor capacidad emprendedora, desarrollan mayores acciones de innovación, y por lo tanto obtienen una mayor ventaja competitiva.

Palavras-chave
