Innovation, Internationalization, Entrepreneurship, Knowledge, tourism sector, Panel Data, GEMAbstract
Innovation, internationalization, knowledge and entrepreneurship are variables highly interwoven, as literature has shown more or less profusely. Nevertheless there is a lacuna in empirical works referred to wide spaces, and some claims have been made to inform generic literatures on those subjects with the specificities of tourism. This article tries to fill up this gap, offering a cross-sectional study for the case of entrepreneur od tourism sector, where panel data models of fixed effects have been developed with data from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and a sample of 17 countries.
