Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity, also known as the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurship, is a leading indicator of new business creation in the United States,[1][non-primary source needed] which has been cited in academic journals such as Small Business Economics.[2][3]

The index uses monthly data from the current population survey (US) to calculate the percentage of the adult, non-business-owner population that starts a business each month, providing a national measure of business creation by specific demographic groups.[4] Annual reports date back to 1996, allowing for comparisons over time.
