The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) was designed to capture various aspects of firm creation and entrepreneurship across countries. The data have been collected over the course of 6 years (1998-2003) and includes responses from individuals in over 40 countries. The data were gathered from 138 separate surveys. This dataset is a harmonized file capturing the results from all of the surveys. Respondents were queried on the following main topics: general entrepreneurship, start-up activities, ownership and management of the firm, and business angels (angel investors). Respondents were initially screened by way of a series of general questions pertaining to starting a business such as whether they were currently trying to start a new business, whether they knew anyone who had started a new business, whether they thought it was a good time to start a new business, as well as their perceptions of the income potential and the prestige associated with starting a new business. Respondents were also asked about the process of starting up a new business, in particular they were asked whether they had done anything to start a new business in the past 12 months, whether they would own all, part, or none of the business, and how many additional people would be involved in owning and/or managing the new business. They were also asked about wages paid and profits generated by the new business. Respondents were asked to specify what sort of business they were starting, what they would sell, how it would be listed in the phone book, and whether potential customers would find the products or services new and unfamiliar. They were also asked whether their client base would be domestic or foreign, and whether production would be local. Additional questions sought information on the number of people working for the firm, total start-up costs, and the various sources of the start-up money. The survey also included a series of questions pertaining to the ownership and management of the new business. In particular, respondents were asked whether they owned all or part of the business, whether there were family members involved in the ownership of the new business,whether the new business was a split from an existing family-owned business, and for what reason the respondents were involved with the particular venture. Finally, respondents were asked about business angels, individuals who contribute capital investment to the start up of a business. Specifically, respondents were asked to give information regarding funds provided by a business angel, what their relationship was to the business angel, and whether the business angel received or would receive a share in ownership in exchange for their investment. The dataset also contains variables that describe the month and year the survey was conducted, the country in which the respondent was surveyed, as well as the respondent's age, gender, labor force status, income, and educational attainment.
