AB  - The aim of this study is to analyse the impact of economic and institutional factors, formal and informal, in the
entrepreneurial activity of nations, particularly in Total Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) within the institutional
theory of North. In order to evaluate the simultaneous influence of economic and institutional factors on the
entrepreneurial activity, a multiple regression approach was used with cross-country data sets (samples of 52
and 36 countries, respectively). The stepwise backward mode of estimation was implemented in the empirical
analysis in order to achieve robust results. The regression results showed that TEA was negatively related to
infrastructural capacity and political stability, and positively related to government spending and to freedom of
expression/freedom of association (Voice and Accountability) at a country level. The empirical analysis has also
tested the non linear relationship between TEA and GDP per capita. The results support the convex relationship
between the two variables providing evidence that entrepreneurial activity is mostly necessity driven rather than
motivated by opportunity. In this context, efforts should be made at a country ́s level to develop policies that
motivate entrepreneurial activities that lead to innovation.
