We find new empirical regularities in the business cycle in a cross-country panel of 22 OECD countries for the period 1972-2007; entrepreneurship Granger-causes the cycles of the world economy. Furthermore, entrepreneurial activity is affected by national unemployment levels. We discuss possible causes and implications of these findings.
