de cualquier manera, como referencia, en el el global entrepreneurship monitor 2009 (http://www.gemconsortium.org/) podes comparar a ambos paises y veras que para los indices de “entrepreneurial attitues and perceptions” (pag 19) y en “entrepreneurial activity” (pag 22) estamos bastante parejos, depende cual elijas de cada uno.

“When you get this happy coincidence of high-I.Q. risk-takers in government and a society that is biased toward high-I.Q. risk-takers, you get these above-average returns as a country,” argued Mundie. “What is common to Singapore, Israel and America? They were all built by high-I.Q. risk-takers and all thrived — but only in the U.S. did it happen at a large scale and with global diversity, so you had this really rich cross-section.”
Craig Mundie, the chief research and strategy officer of Microsoft.
