Resumen

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las diferencias existentes entre proyectos emprendedores en equipo y proyectos individuales. Estudia el rendimiento de los dos tipos de proyectos en las dimensiones de innovación, internacionalización y generación de empleo, ofreciendo una comparación internacional. El estudio se lleva a cabo con una muestra de 71.578 proyectos emprendedores pertenecientes a 74 países que han participado en el proyecto GEM entre 2014 y 2018. Nuestros resultados muestran que los equipos emprendedores ofrecen mejores resultados, especialmente en contextos de alta libertad económica.
