abstract: The research aims to find the underlying effects that influenced the change in start-up rate in the Netherlands (increase from 5% to 10%) and Germany (stable at 5%) between 2003 and 2012. Several cultural, economic, physical, institutional and educational effects have been investigated, predominantly by using logistic regression analyses on data acquired from the General Entrepreneurial Monitor (GEM) Adult Population Survey from 2003 and 2012. Amongst the main findings were that the start-up rate in the Netherlands is mainly increased through an increase in the number of self-employed and an increase in younger starters, paired with an increase in attention for entrepreneurship in Dutch education. Also the change in societal views on entrepreneurship have shown to influence the relative increase in the Netherlands. Remarkable was that economic and institutional aspects were not found to play a role in the relative increase in the start-up rate in the Netherlands.
