Abstract
The relationship between economic development and entrepreneurship is complex and dynamic especially when considered at the regional level. Entrepreneurship can emerge in both wealthy and poorer regions as triggered either by necessity or opportunity factors. Motivated by the lack of studies on this topic in particularly developing countries, this study performs an analysis on Indonesian data to identify the regional patterns of entrepreneurial activity and to test whether wealthy regions are more entrepreneurial than the second ones. In addition, it also examines how regional conditions affect different type of businesses, formal and informal firms. The results of spatial regression analysis indicate that wealthy regions are more entrepreneurial with regard to informal firm but not for formal firm. The supply side analysis confirms that being unemployed stimulate individuals to become entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, the demand side analysis confirms that the size of market demand positively influence entrepreneurship.
