Abstract

The main goal of this work is to determine the effect that self-confidence in entrepreneurial skills and some social-cultural variables (benchmarks and the social stigma of failure) have on the entrepreneurial activity of young people in Spain. With this purpose, a model of logistic regression to strange events is produced using a data base GEM -Spain for 2009, with a sample of 24.099 people. The most important results indicate that young people are more entrepreneurial than older people. Besides, they show that self-confidence and social stigma over business failure have a differential effect on the entrepreneurial probability of Spanish young people.
