dc.description.abstractThis research is a contribution to empirical research on entrepreneurship. Indeed, this paper provides a detailed analysis of regional analysis of entrepreneurial activity in Tunisia based on 2009 APS data. We provide a short description of GEM’s theoretical and methodological background. Also, we present the most important approaches to regional development with a particular focus on the relationship between entrepreneurship and regional development. Then, we apply a statistical analysis using APS data. The analysis of the several dimensions of regional entrepreneurial activity does indicate that start-ups creation does vary from one region to another. We conclude that the coastal regions Grand Tunis and Center-East have the highest early-stage entrepreneurial active involvement in technology-sector. This finding is correlated with the result that these two regions have also high level of knowledge and abilities combined with high levels of fear of failure. Regional analysis does conclude that, for all regions, business creation is more pronounced for male than female population. Nevertheless, the gender gap varies from one region to another. The lowest gap is observed in the Center East. We also show that for all regions, necessity early stage entrepreneurial activity is a rural characteristic while opportunity entrepreneurship is basically an urban phenomenon. Therefore, regional characteristics do not make any difference in this matter.en
