2008 Kauffman Data Symposium Proceedings

KFS Data Symposiums Logo The Kauffman Symposiums on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data are a multi-year series of workshops focused on the important and growing body of data collected on entrepreneurship and innovation. The 2008 Kauffman Data Symposium took place in November 2008 and brought together more than 180 representatives from statistical offices, academia, and other interested individuals to discuss specific proposals for tangible improvements to data sources. The symposium highlighted twenty-five presentations, each with a different proposal for advancing our understanding of entrepreneurship and/or innovation. The revised proposals for improvement are presented here.
