A new index of growth-oriented business

By Bryan Watson

A short while ago, The Economist (“Schumpeter”) reported the debut of a new index of business.  Where previous indices simply tracked the creation and destruction of new enterprises, the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index, available for purchase here, focuses on high-growth companies, and ranks 71 countries by their results in this regard.

As the article points out, this could be a very valuable tool to identify what policies work to encourage high-growth business, and where the bottlenecks are!
