The Kauffman Index: Startup Activity - Metropolitan Area and City Trends 2015
No full textHow can I actually measure the entrepreneurial activity in my region? This is a question we at the Kauffman Foundation often hear from economic and policy leaders. As cities around the globe rally to foster entrepreneurship, the challenge of how to consistently measure and benchmark progress remains largely unanswered. While anecdotal evidence abounds, most ecosystems struggle to answer straightforward, yet often elusive, questions: How many new startups does our city or state have? How much are our ventures growing? How many of our businesses are surviving? To begin to answer these questions and address this challenge, we introduce the new Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurship, the first and largest index tracking entrepreneurship across city, state, and national levels for the United States. In this release, we introduce the Kauffman Index: Startup Activity—the first of various research installments under the umbrella of the new Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurship.For the past ten years, the original Kauffman Index— authored by Robert W. Fairlie—has been an early indicator for entrepreneurship in the United States, used by entrepreneurs and policymakers, from the federal to state and local levels. The Kauffman Index also has been one of the most requested and far-reaching entrepreneurship indicators in the United States and, arguably, the world. In the policy world, the Index has been referenced in multiple testimonies to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, by U.S. Embassies and Consulates across various countries—including nations like Spain, Ukraine, and United Kingdom—by multiple federal agencies, by state governments and governors from fifteen states— from Arizona to New York—and by the White House's office of the President of the United States. On the academic side, more than 200 research papers quote the Kauffman Index. In media circles, the Kauffman Index has been highlighted in more than 100 media channels, including most major publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, TIME, CNN, the Financial Times, and Harvard Business Review. Originally, the Kauffman Index tracked one of the earliest measures of business creation: When and how many people first start working for themselves, becoming entrepreneurs. Now, we are expanding it to include other dimensions of entrepreneurship. The new and expanded Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurship 2015 remains focused primarily on entrepreneurial outcomes, as opposed to inputs. That means we are more concerned with actual results of entrepreneurial activity—things like new companies and growth rates.The Kauffman Index: Startup Activity algorithm presented in this report takes into account three variables:* Rate of New Entrepreneurs* Opportunity Share of New Entrepreneurs* Startup Densit
The Kauffman Index 2016: Growth Entrepreneurship - State Trends
No full textThe reports present trends in Growth Entrepreneurship in each state and the 40 largest metro areas relying on three composite indicators to look at business revenue and job growth: Rate of Startup Growth, Share of Scaleups and High-Growth Company Density.To facilitate comparison across peer groups of states, the Kauffman Index looked at the 25 largest and 25 smallest states by population. The larger states are overwhelmingly urban, while populations in smaller states tend to be more dispersed.Virginia took first place in growth entrepreneurship activity among the 25 largest states, followed by Maryland, Arizona, Massachusetts and Texas. Kauffman researchers said it is no coincidence that two of the top states include the highly entrepreneurial Washington, D.C., metro area. Among larger states, 12 ranked higher than they did last year, four experienced no change in rankings and nine ranked lower
Classificação de solos usada em levantamentos pedológicos no Brasil.
No full textNature of the system; diagnostic horizons and diagnostic properties; soil classes and their definitions; correlation between soil classes of Brazilian-SNLCS, FAO and Soil Taxonomy systems. Brazilian soil science is in its infancy. In studies before 1947 soils were mainly classified in relation to parent material or geomorphological units. In 1947 a national soil science society and survey institution were founded. A programme of reconnaissance soil surveys of Brazil started with the survey of the state of Rio de Janeiro in 1954. At present the entire country has been mapped at the exploratory level, with about 20% at exploratory-reconnaissance level, plus 15% at reconnaissance level and a rather small percentage at more detailed levels.Reprint from Annual Report 1896, published in 1987.

The Kauffman Index 2015: Startup Activity State Trends
No full textIn this report, we focus on startup activity at the state level. Startup activity rose in 2015, reversing a five-year downward trend in the United States, giving rise to hope for a revival of entrepreneurship. However, the return remains tepid and well below historical trends, as shown in Figure 1 below. A principle driver of this year's uptick is the growth of male opportunity entrepreneurship, accompanied by the continued strength of immigrant entrepreneurship -- covered in the Kauffman Index: Startup Activity | National Trends. Males were hit particularly hard during the Great Recession. Metro-area stars of the startup surge include perennial favorites like Austin and San Jose -- covered in the Kauffman Index: Startup Activity | Metropolitan Area and City Trends -- as well as some less highlighted places, such as Miami and San Antonio
The Kauffman Index: Main Street Entrepreneurship - Metropolitan Area and City Trends 2015
No full text"The Kauffman Index: Main Street Entrepreneurship" is a novel indicator of small business activity in the United States, integrating high-quality sources of timely information into one composite indicator. The Index captures business activity in all industries, and is based on both a nationally representative sample size of roughly 900,000 responses each year and on the universe of all employer businesses in the United States. The focus here is on established small businesses—employer firms older than five years and with fewer than fifty employees—and the business owners based on a location. As such, we examine both the business owners and the businesses they own. Main Street entrepreneurship is an important aspect of the U.S. economy and society. Established small businesses make up 63 percent of all employer firms in the United States1 and are a source of local economic activity. Entrepreneurship is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, and the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurship series—the umbrella initiative for all Kauffman Index reports—studies and analyzes entrepreneurship from various perspectives. Another report, the Kauffman Index: Startup Activity, seeks to view the beginnings of entrepreneurship, focusing on new business creation, market opportunity, and startup density. This series, the Kauffman Index: Main Street Entrepreneurship, takes a different angle and attempts to understand prevalence of local small business. This report presents trends in Main Street entrepreneurship activity for the forty largest metropolitan areas in the United States by population. Nationwide Main Street entrepreneurship activity—an indicator of the number of established small businesses and the number of business owners in a location— experienced a large increase in 2015, reversing a six-year downward and stagnant trend in the United States
