Title: Entrepreneurship and economic development: Theory, evidence and policy
Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the state of the art of the 
	 intersection of development and entrepreneurship. Given the neglect of 
	 entrepreneurship by development scholars it deals with (i) recent 
	 theoretical insights from the intersection of entrepreneurship and 
	 development studies; (ii) the empirical evidence on that relationship 
	 between entrepreneurship and development; and (iii) fresh insights for 
	 entrepreneurship policy for development that emerges from recent 
	 advanced in this area, including female entrepreneurship in developing 
	 countries.
