Entrepreneurship Policy In Estonia

The main task of this paper is to explore the entrepreneurship policy in Estonia. The idea proceeds from the book by Lundström and Stevenson (2001), in which the authors describe, analyse and discuss the development of entrepreneurship policy in ten economies - six EU Member States and four members of APEC. In some respects, this paper strives to be a "Missing chapter" in the aforementioned book concerning entrepreneurship policy in Estonia. It should be considered as an attempt to apply their approach to a country without a long history in SME development. The paper starts with an overview of the theoretical background and goes on to examine entrepreneurship policy (or even economic policy) in Estonia.
