We find new empirical regularities in the business cycle in a cross-country panel of 22 OECD countries for the period 1972 to 2007; entrepreneurship Granger-causes the cycles of the world economy.

We discuss possible causes and implications of these findings. © 2012 The President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
