Based on the assumption that EI is not directly observable but inferable through reflection in a complex set of factors (Cooper and Dunkelberg 1996), we developed a scale of 12 EI items pretested successfully in 10 different countries (Welsch 1998; Gundry and Welsch 2001).

"... In PAGE 45: ... Because the stochastic properties of the shock determine the minimum value of assets that are necessary to start a business or to implement larger projects, that is, the borrowing limits, the sensitivity analysis with respect to this parameter provides a joint evaluation of the importance of the riskiness of the business and the borrowing limits. The rst line of Table12 reports distributional statistics for the economy without inter- mediation cost , and therefore, the marginal return on savings is the same for workers and entrepreneurs. These statistics can be compared with the same statistics for the baseline model that are reported at the bottom of the table.... In PAGE 45: ...The riskiness of the business and the borrowing limits also have distributional consequences, as can be seen in the middle section of Table12 which reports distributional statistics when the idiosyncratic technological shock takes the mean value (low risk) and when the depreciation rate associated with a low value of the shock is doubled (high risk). Note that when 1 = 2 = , entrepreneurs still face the risk of loosing the business, even though without losses.... ..."

The new ordering, depicted in Table2 and Figure 2, indicates that the most important variable is for the entrepreneur or the company to recognize that there is a legitimate need for business assistance. One way in which governments can facilitate this initial and most essential step, variable X1, is by publicizing standards similar to the Robert Morris Associates benchmarks published in the U.... ..."
