Entrepreneurship Support Instruments in Coastal Municipalities of Poland and Latvia: Scope of Application and Effectiveness
Entrepreneurship Support Instruments in Coastal Municipalities of Poland and Latvia: Scope of Application and Effectiveness

Summary/Abstract: Municipalities play a particularly important role, including in creating appropriate living conditions and organising the proper functioning and development of the economy. Taking into account the specifics of coastal municipalities, we verify how the activities of coastal municipal governments contribute to the development of local entrepreneurship in Poland and Latvia. Based on the results of the survey, 38,417 input data were analysed, giving room for comparisons to assess the effectiveness of analogous solutions applied in both countries and their consequences in the form of entrepreneurial dynamics. The results of our study indicate significant differences in changes in the level of entrepreneurship in coastal municipalities compared to other municipalities from the country. We also note that polish coastal municipalities are far more likely to carry out PPP investments and solicit new investors, while Latvian coastal municipalities are characteristically oriented towards foreign investors.
