Abstract

Transnational entrepreneurship in Germany is a strongly under-researched topic, with high relevance for entrepreneurship policy and migration policy. After describing entrepreneurship, migration and migration policies in both German states before and after German reunification in 1990, this article provides empirical answers to the following questions: How many Transnational Entrepreneurs (TEs) are there in Germany? Do the prevalence rates of in-migrants differ from those of other entrepreneurs in Germany? Are TEs and migrant entrepreneurs an opportunity to increase Germany's low start-up rate? How do German-born entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs without a migration background differ from migrant entrepreneurs and TEs in terms of demographics, entrepreneurial attitudes and entrepreneurial perceptions, as well as firm attributes? What conclusions regarding start-up and economic policy can be drawn from the empirical findings? Empirical evidence is based on a unique database developed by the author using the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data.
